I'll go with the & ;) Here's a screenshot: http://pohl.ececs.uc.edu/~jeremy/cmus.png I use a slightly changed script that comes with cmus called cmus-status-display. Here it is: http://pohl.ececs.uc.edu/~jeremy/cmus-status-display The instructions for using it (very simple) are in the file itself. Before I send the status off to the status bar, I filter it to prevent ridiculously long lines from taking over my status bar, by doing this: `tail -n 1 /tmp/cmus-status |tail -c 50` (This can be seen in my xinitrc, posted earlier) Feel free to ask any questions. :) I love sharing desktop ideas. Everyone's environment is their own, and it's nice to see what kind of setups other people use. I love the freedom of open source software. -- Jeremy O'Brien aka neutral_insomniac GPG key: 0xB1140FDB http://pohl.ececs.uc.edu/~jeremy/jeremy.asc Linux ambelina 2.6.23-rc3 ppc 7447A, altivec supported PowerBook5,8 GNU/Linux
