I read this mailing list through Gmane's web interface. I don't know if it is
what you're searching, but it works well enough for me.

Well, I often find myself using three terminals at the same time. I find this
idea to be interesting because I'd like to have more screen estate for important
information than what is now possible with equal division of the stacks.

In my opinion, to distribute windows according to the golden ration (or any
other proportion) is great if you only have a small number of opened windows at
the same time. Otherwise, smaller windows would be unreadable.

But still, I support this idea and like to experiment with it soon!

Some days ago I hacked a ruby script to monitor my network connection. By a
happy coincidence, I happen to use the same characters.

Here is my script. It also displays CPU temperature and the date.


#!/usr/bin/ruby

PIPE = "/home/boily/.dwm-status"
INTERFACE = "eth0"
RXMAX = 600
TXMAX = 200
CPUTEMPFILE = "/sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-004c/temp2_input"
DATETIME = "%d.%m.%Y - %H:%M"

def probar(new, last, max)
diff = ((new - last) / max * 10).round
if diff > 10 then
diff = 10
end
return "[" + "=" * diff + " " * (10 - diff) + "]"
end

RXFILE = "/sys/class/net/#{INTERFACE}/statistics/rx_bytes"
TXFILE = "/sys/class/net/#{INTERFACE}/statistics/tx_bytes"

rx = File.read(RXFILE).to_f / 1024
tx = File.read(TXFILE).to_f / 1024

while not `pidof dwm`.chomp.empty?
rxnew = File.read(RXFILE).to_f / 1024
txnew = File.read(TXFILE).to_f / 1024

cputemp = File.read(CPUTEMPFILE).to_f / 1000
datetime = Time.now.strftime(DATETIME)

File.open(PIPE, 'w') do |ligne|
ligne.print "<-%s ->%s - %.1f°C - %s\n" % [probar(rxnew, rx, RXMAX),
probar(txnew, tx, TXMAX), cputemp, datetime]
end

sleep 1

rx = rxnew
tx = txnew
end

Dzen works very well for me, except for the fact that it exits with a
segmentation fault...

By the way, you had a great idea by coding dzen. I look forward for further
developments!
