Hi! I've just released xmobar-0.7, a text based status bar I wrote for the XMonad WM. Grab it from hackage: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/xmobar-0.7 A screen shot: http://gorgias.mine.nu/xmobar/xmobar-0.7.png A precompiled binary can be download from here: http://gorgias.mine.nu/xmobar/ What's new: - fixed the refreshing issues: thanks to Spencer xmobar now properly handles the Expose X event; - added command line options (try xmobar --help): command line options will overwrite options in the configuration file; - default configuration file can be set as ~/.xmobarrc - system monitors are now just a plugin and can be disable before compiling (see README to find out how); - better error and exception handling - other minor changes I do not even remember ...;-) Thanks to Robert Manea, Spencer Janssen, Claus Reinke for their great help! All the best, Andrea
