Window headers - as in Tabbed Layout - for Tall Layout

Hi All, I've been using xmonad with great joy for the past months. It is wonderful, compact and elegant. Love it. Thank you all. I like the Tabbed Layout and I was wondering if a similar extension already exists that allows to put window headers on the Tall Layout. I mean something to add a small title bar with the name of the program on top of each window in Tall mode. I have gone through the contrib modules but could not find it. If it does not exist yet I'd love to experiment a bit and try to write it myself. Am I on the right track if I use a LayoutModifier to be applied to the Tall Layout?

I do not believe that a layout title modifier has yet been written.
However, IIRC, one could use the multiple layouts extension to put Tabbed
inside of tall.

No, it's not implemented.

If you want every visible window to have a title bar, I think that approach could work. -- David Roundy Department of Physics Oregon State University

Ok, perfect. I'll try to go that route. I'll start experimenting and present something if I manage to get it working. Regards, Nick -- The universe is a giant Rorschach ink-blot - Alan Watts
