This sounds like a wonderful solution, but I can't see how dwm's status bar can be implemented via something like dzen...Things like the current window square and windows open squares wouldn't be possible unless you literally printed a square character. If I can see a way that's easily implementable though I'd be up for trying to strip dwm's status bar and reworking it so it'd somehow work with pipes or something. -lf94
