aplwrap

[Chris Moller]

I haven't any if idea if anyone is still using the aplwrap thing David 
Lamkins and I hacked together a few years ago, but I just updated it, 
which mostly consisted of replacing a couple of GTK+/glib things that 
had been deprecated.   You can also set the foreground and background 
colours now, in case you want your screen(s) to be more attention-getting.

Anyway:  https://github.com/ChrisMoller/aplwrap
