Hi,

is there a way to decorate windows in XMonad? I'm thinking of a small title bar in which the window title is shown (nothing graphically complicated, only a simple constant color rectangle, maybe a simple 3D emboss effect).

By itself XMonad seems to support only a single-color border indicating the focus state of the window. And I did not find a contribution allowing decorations either.

AFAIK, the tabbed layout does something similar to what you're proposing (it draws a small title bar with the window title written in it). Now I didn't look at the code but I think that could be a good hint on where to start looking. Cheers, Zsolt P.s.: Sorry if this email gets through twice.
