long story long
to time @ moment command executed on terminal/console window titlebar
export ps1="[\e]2;\t : \u@\h \w\a\e[32;1m]>[\e[0m] "
to updating time moment command executed on terminal/console window titlebar
while : sleep 1 & echo -ne "\033]0; date +"%d-%b-%y %i:%m:%s %p"
\007" wait $! done ) &
but if want information on top of active window, not permanently on specific terminal window (possibly on different desktop active one)?
i found out wmctrl yesterday, don't know i'm talking (no s**t, sherlock!) but, if it's @ possible replicate it, using wmtrl -r, -t , :active: and/or other method, couldn't say, because don't know enough x myself , haven't found closer answer after week of investigation jwpat7's reply here: changing eclipse window's name
which isn't answer i'm looking for, gives me reason hope: significant bit of his/her answer seems me be:
wmctrl -ir 0x06400080 -n 'oneforeach' changes long name (in window title bar) of window identified indicated hexadecimal number.
this seems imply value, rather string literal can written titlebar but, said, don't know enough myself , haven't been able find out myself.
can help, please?
thanks.
