        ;;
        07mpd)
        ;;
    esac
}

And make your "status" action look like this:

Action status
    set +xv
    if removeStatusBars 2>/dev/null; then
        sleep 2
    fi
    createStatusBars
    while true; do
        updateStatusBars
        sleep 0.5
    done

For the OSDs (requires dzen) you need to add this Event:

Event RightBarClick
    shift
    wmiir xwrite /ctl view "$@"

For best results, I would put the tags on the right side instead of the left.  This should keep them from getting mixed in with the status stuff. With wmii-hg, I think you just need to change the following:
Replace the Right Bar Click Event with this:

Event RightBarClick
    shift
    wmiir xwrite /ctl view "$@"

And Replace the Tag Bar Setup stuff at the bottom with this:

# Setup Tag Bar
IFS="$wi_newline"
wmiir rm $(wmiir ls /rbar | sed 's,^,/rbar/,') >/dev/null
seltag=$(wmiir read /tag/sel/ctl | sed 1q)
unset IFS
wi_tags | while read tag
do
    if [ "$tag" = "$seltag" ]; then
        echo "$WMII_FOCUSCOLORS" "$tag"
    else
        echo "$WMII_NORMCOLORS" "$tag"
    fi | wmiir create "/rbar/$tag"
done

And change the tag events...

Event CreateTag
    echo "$WMII_NORMCOLORS" "$@" | wmiir create "/rbar/$@"
Event DestroyTag
    wmiir remove "/rbar/$@"
Event FocusTag
    wmiir xwrite "/rbar/$@" "$WMII_FOCUSCOLORS" "$@"
Event UnfocusTag
    wmiir xwrite "/rbar/$@" "$WMII_NORMCOLORS" "$@"
Event UrgentTag
    shift
    wmiir xwrite "/rbar/$@" "*$@"
Event NotUrgentTag
    shift
    wmiir xwrite "/rbar/$@" "$@"

End result should look like this (although I'm not using the disk space monitor)

If you have any trouble, just complain, and I'll try to help out xD

Re: The wmii thread

Thanks @alexandrite. 

One clarification and one doubt:
Clarification
The configuration requires the following two packages:

$ sudo pacman -S bc
$ sudo pacman -S socat

Doubt
It is mandatory to have wmii-hg to get the 'workspaces' in the right position?

Re: The wmii thread

Yeah, I guess I kinda forgot about those dependencies.

Also, I forgot that moving the tagbar also requires replacing a few more actions:

Event CreateTag
    echo "$WMII_NORMCOLORS" "$@" | wmiir create "/rbar/$@"
Event DestroyTag
    wmiir remove "/rbar/$@"
Event FocusTag
    wmiir xwrite "/rbar/$@" "$WMII_FOCUSCOLORS" "$@"
Event UnfocusTag
    wmiir xwrite "/rbar/$@" "$WMII_NORMCOLORS" "$@"
Event UrgentTag
    shift
    wmiir xwrite "/rbar/$@" "*$@"
Event NotUrgentTag
    shift
    wmiir xwrite "/rbar/$@" "$@"

After changing these, everything should work on wmii-hg.

For wmii-3.5, you'll wanna replace the above, AND your tagbar setup (like 5 sections from the bottom) with this:

#Setup Tag Bar

seltag="$(wmiir read /tag/sel/ctl 2>/dev/null)"
wmiir ls /rbar |
while read bar; do
    wmiir remove "/rbar/$bar"
done
wmiir ls /tag | sed -e 's|/||; /^sel$/d' |
while read tag; do
    if [ "X$tag" = "X$seltag" ]; then
        echo "$WMII_FOCUSCOLORS" "$tag" | wmiir create "/rbar/$tag" 
    else
        echo "$WMII_NORMCOLORS" "$tag" | wmiir create "/rbar/$tag"
    fi
done

I have a complete wmiirc for both versions if there's still trouble.

Re: The wmii thread

Two things:
1. I get on the right position of MPD a nil windows
2. The Memory doesn't show like yours .

Here's a image.

Btw, thanks for the help.

Re: The wmii thread

Hm... The "nil" was just supposed to be a blank space between the bars.  Without it, the leftmost tag button would expand to fill any space between them.  On hg it's blank, but I guess it says "nil" because there is no text contained in it...

Maybe try adding this to the end of updateStatusBars()

wmiir xwrite /rbar/...spacer " "

If that doesn't work, then deleting the last line of updateStatusBars() should just get rid of it entirely. 

As for the memory, the stuff on the right side of it is actually a separate bar to monitor disk space. I don't use it on my system, but I put it back in in case someone wanted it.  You can change what disk it monitors by changing the '/' in:

fsStatus '/' | wmiir write /lbar/04fs1

to whatever mount point you want to monitor.  If you want to remove it entirely, just delete the lines pertaining to it in the update, remove, and create functions.  Should be one line each.

Thanks for the testing by the way

Ok. I solved the memory display. But the problem with the nil windows persist

Re: The wmii thread

I think that has to do with the way you set up your named tags.  The default should remove the initial "nil" you have in the tagbar before you open a window.

Actually, since you have those named tag things, you might try removing the Tagbar setup stuff that I suggested... That code would just be for the standard numbered tags anyway.

Thanks for answer.

hmm, i don't know how to that. I try to find something similar but with no luck.

indeed, i don't use that setup.

TIA.

Re: The wmii thread

I guess try removing this:

#Setup Tag Bar

seltag="$(wmiir read /tag/sel/ctl 2>/dev/null)"
wmiir ls /rbar |
while read bar; do
    wmiir remove "/rbar/$bar"
done
wmiir ls /tag | sed -e 's|/||; /^sel$/d' |
while read tag; do
    if [ "X$tag" = "X$seltag" ]; then
        echo "$WMII_FOCUSCOLORS" "$tag" | wmiir create "/rbar/$tag" 
    else
        echo "$WMII_NORMCOLORS" "$tag" | wmiir create "/rbar/$tag"
    fi
done

That's only for the numbered tag setup.

If that doesn't work, then paste your wmiirc and I'll see about fixing it myself xD

Hah! I guess all's well that ends well.  Glad to be of help.  Enjoy your shiny (somewhat frustrating) statusbar.

Re: The wmii thread

Why is the version in extra not wmii 3.9, which is the recomended version, instead of 3.6, which is marked as "historical"?
I may have missed something important.

3.9 was just tagged recently (May 21, to be exact). 

Since there's no maintainer, I'd guess there just hasn't been a dev with the chance and willingness to update it yet.  It has already been flagged out-of-date.

(If you're anxious to use newer code, there's always wmii-hg from the AUR.)

Re: The wmii thread

Is it possible to use a different color for the bar of floating windows?
I want to make them stand out from the rest. The small border lines that tells you what mode the window is in can easily be overlooked.

Re: The wmii thread

How are you debugging your scripts? Is there some kind of wmii log file? I use an almost vanilla wmiirc, but MOD-SHIFT-2 doesn't work. It should retag the selected window to 2, but it doesnt. The nine other numbers are working, and I can tag the window to 2 with "mod-shift-t 2 enter".

Re: The wmii thread

There is no wmii log file as far as I know but if you have a login manager like slim you could try checking its login file and that of Xorg and dmesg for serious stuff. If MOD-SHIFT-2 is not working for you please paste your ~/.wmii-3.5/wmiirc file here so we can look at it.

Re: The wmii thread

I found out the MOD-SHIFT-2 thing was a hardware bug. It seems to be a dead key combination on my old Model M keyboard, where I have remapped caps lock to "Super" key.
It works on my other keyboard though.

AFAIK you cannot do that in a nice way. You can use the following hack though:

Event AreaFocus
        if [ $1 = "~" ]; then
             wmiir xwrite /ctl focuscolors $WMII_FOCUSCOLORS_FLOATING
        else
             wmiir xwrite /ctl focuscolors $WMII_FOCUSCOLORS
        fi

Put this somewhere in the events() function next to the other Events and set WMII_FOCUSCOLORS_FLOATING at the beginning of your wmiirc to your liking. It's not nice and you'll notice some flickering, but it should work.

Re: The wmii thread

Anyone figured a way to restore/load sessions (i.e. groups of tags) including their clients and positions?
I've been using wmii with rumai (ruby library), and this is not built in, however the author reckons that should be possible, so i figured i'd ask here...

cheers

Re: The wmii thread

Hi folks,
I'm developing a game on a netbook. The netbook has a 1024x600 display and my game has a fixed res of 800x600. If, when I'm testing, I make the game window fullscreen it stretches the graphics, but if I leave it floating or stacked it squashes the window vertically as wmii wants to fit a titlebar in. Is it possible to configure wmii to run the game 800x600 in the middle of the screen? Either by not fitting fullscreen vertically or by running in floating mode without titlebar on that window?

I

Not sure if it is what you want, and perhaps you know already, but for a standard login session I just put the apps I want to run in my .xinitrc file and then I specify in my wmiirc tagging rules where to put that app, eg, for opera:

# Tagging Rules
wmiir write /tagrules <<!
/XMMS.*/ -> ~
/MPlayer.*/ -> ~
/tkremind.*/ -> ~3
/opera.*/ -> 2
/gimp.*/ -> 3
/vlc.*/ -> ~

HTH....

Re: The wmii thread

Hi, having a slight problem here. I want to use some bigger font, but witray stays the old height when I start X. Tried the default config already (only altered font size) but result remains the same.
When I restart wmii without killing X, the height fits.
My wmii starting section in xinitrc is just

exec wmii

Anybody has a clue?

Re: The wmii thread

I'm not sure if it's a proper solution, but moving the line with 'startup' in /etc/wmii-hg/wmiirc to the end of the file for example just after the 'xsetroot...' command fixes the problem. You are using the sh script, right?
This doesn't happen with the python wmiirc.
