This one may be nicer, I'll look into it. I do find they don't have the exact same purpose - for some reason, it feels somewhat more comfortable to have the window list 'at a glance', even if you're not looking at them. Of course, for some this may be wasted screen real estate and I respect that :). One thing that I've grown used to is clicking on the bar to change window when I find myself doing stuff one-handed. > Nevertheless, I think rpbar is a neat add-on for ratpoison.
