hello gentlemen !
first of all ,I'm very impressed by yours cooking collective and thank you for the all good staff !

My stupid question is : can I put in my spectrwm a multiple desktops numbering (like TV channels) like wmx has ?
(and every time I switch to other desctop I can see a big green number in the corner)
( thanks Pidsley for Zijwaarts.iso)

Hello and welcome,

don't be shy, this is a good question!
You want a pager, right? Maybe bbpager or fbpager can do what you like. Install both, then execute bbqpager or fbpager from inside a terminal. Report back what happens.

If it's only about showing which desktop you switched to, you can check if you have [+I] in spectrwm.conf's "bar_format"

I move this thread over to support :)
