Hi XMonad list - long time user, first time extension submitter. I'm attaching an extension called ShowActive that it would be a stretch for me to say I wrote (it's about 99% ShowWName, I just cut parts out). On each layout it pops up a small square in each window for a short time, with the active window colored differently. This works much better for me than borders when alt-tabbing to spot-identify which window got focus. Now, I'm just attaching the raw .hs file instead of a cabal patch since I cant get the development version of XMonadContrib to compile against my stock xmonad-8.1, and I don't want to upgrade to the bleeding edge in case it breaks anything. Maybe someone else, if they think this is useful, can make a patch out of it. Or, if someone else knows how to make a patch without requiring that XMonadContrib compiles, let me know. Enjoy, Steve
