I use screen with the following in /etc/screenrc:
hardstatus alwayslastline
backtick 1 1200 1200 whoami
hardstatus string "address@hidden %c | %-Lw%{= BW}%50>%n* %t%{-}%+Lw%<"
This gives me a bar across the bottom which shows a list of windows and
the currently active window is highlighted in blue, a simple tab bar. I
can't remember where I got the code from, quite possibly the default
screenrc.
However, I have now started to use an xterm. Without the status line my
xterm title is changed to show me the current directory I'm in, what user
I am (etc). Some programs (portage in Gentoo, among others) use it to
provide feedback on what they are doing. With the line "hardstatus
alwayslastline" this information is not output to the xterm title.
Is there any way I can use both at once, having a tab bar at the bottom
and relevant information in the xterm window title? Or a 2 line status,
one that portage (et al) can use and one for the tab bar?
Thanks,
David
