There was a big delay (understandably) when some patches weren't applied and was no longer on the mailing list.
took the opportunity to rewrite with different naming conventions, abstract and reduce LOC, add more formatting utilities.
Great.
There was also a full width dzen status bar function in seanmce's patch bundle. It's the only bit left, that's not in this patch. It looks like it would make a great example for illustrating the statusBar function, but I'll wait till if/when this patch is applied to generate that patch, since it would depend on some of these loggers.
I thought it was nice to run the status bar internally. I prefer using Haskell to shell scripts and internal status information would be available that otherwise would not. The one drawback is I was unable to find a way to refresh at regular intervals. So, for example, A clock wouldn't be updated until the user switched windows.
I've tried contacting seanmce, hoping to include his or her real name in the copyright line, but mails have been returned as undeliverable. If anyone knows this person please help us get in contact.
No Problem. I'm Sean McEligot . Thanks for trying. Sorry about that.
