I'm curious if anybody has compiled xmobar or taffybar into their actual actual xmonad. Is this a crazy idea?
It's a very bad idea without rearchitecting xmonad's main loop to allow it to support anything other than X11 events. In particular, you really want timed events for a status bar, and at present the only way to get that while maintaining access to xmonad's internal state is to have a separate thread periodically sendMessage X11 events to the main thread. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
