Oh dear how bad has my english to be since nobody is understanding me right. *g*
Well second approach. Currently I'm using the following code to
generate my statusbar:
#set statusbar
while true
do
if acpi -a | grep off-line > /dev/null; then
xsetroot -name "Bat. $( acpi -b | awk '{ print $4 " " $5 }' |
tr -d ',' ) | Vol. $(amixer get Master | tail -1 | awk '{ print $5}' |
tr -d '[]') | $(date +"%a, %b %d %R")"
else
xsetroot -name "Vol. $(amixer get Master | tail -1 | awk '{
print $5}' | tr -d '[]') | $(date +"%a, %b %d %R")"
fi
sleep 1s
done &
The point is now that I want to extend exactly this statusbar to
display the layout I'm using, so either 'de' or 'pl'.
So no, I don't want to get rid of it.
Please say you understand what I intend. :)

Robert
