I think I found a good example here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xmonad

Thank you kindly for your help.

-- Imports.
import XMonad
import XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog

-- The main function.
main = xmonad =<< statusBar myBar myPP toggleStrutsKey myConfig

-- Command to launch the bar.
myBar = "xmobar"

-- Custom PP, configure it as you like. It determines what is being written to the bar.
myPP = xmobarPP { ppCurrent = xmobarColor "#429942" "" . wrap "<" ">" }

-- Key binding to toggle the gap for the bar.
toggleStrutsKey XConfig {XMonad.modMask = modMask} = (modMask, xK_b)

-- Main configuration, override the defaults to your liking.
myConfig = defaultConfig { modMask = mod4Mask }

Hi,

Thank you very much for your help.

Would you mind posting an example of how I might use statusBar?  I'm kind of a Haskell newb.

To this:

This works fine, but now for some reason, Alt-B is bound to ToggleStruts.  I would like this to be Ctrl-Shift-B, and I have a key binding which adds the second one, but I can't seem to get rid of the first.

How can I unbind Alt-B, and where is it coming from?

It's coming from the xmobar combinator applied to defaultConfig:

    xmobar conf = statusBar "xmobar" xmobarPP toggleStrutsKey conf


If you want to replace toggleStrutsKey then you will need to use your own invocation of statusBar.

    -- |
    -- Helper function which provides ToggleStruts keybinding

    toggleStrutsKey :: XConfig t -> (KeyMask, KeySym)
    toggleStrutsKey XConfig{modMask = modm} = (modm, xK_b )
