We plan to dump the internal state of xmonad to stdout, so that you can then post process it with a status bar client. dzen, for example, would happily display the index of the current workspace this way. Expect a patch for this soonish.
Excellent. The only downside to doing it this way is that to have different bars on different windows, you'd have to make the output multiplexed to multiple dzens, but that isn't too hard to do in the processing script. (I was thinking of doing this a different way in my Config, by storing a list of output handles in the X monad state each pointing at a different screen's dzen. Which reminds me, we should implement a way to allow user Config to add features (especially state) to the X monad; I just sent in a TODO for that.) --dave -- David Glasser | glasser@mit.edu | http://www.davidglasser.net/
