I really like the monitoring function in screen c-M and c-_ but whenever an event happens (or doesn't happen if c-_) on a screen I am monitoring the message doesn't go to the hard status line I have.
What I really want, yet have no idea how to do, is set it so when a monitoring event happens, the color of that screen changes. I think this is possible because my active screen is white and the inactive screens are green (on the hardstatusline).
To me, this would be really cool to implement....
EDIT: OK, I'm sure I can do this somehow. What I want is the color of the screen's name to change when activity stops for 30 seconds (or when activity starts, depending on what mode it's in. By default, an @ get placed in the before the name.
Here is my current hard status line (I copied this from a website, so I can't really interpret it exactly.) hardstatus string '%{= kG}[ %{G}%H %{g}][%= %{=kw}%?%-Lw%?%{r}(%{W}%n*%f%t%?(%u)%?%{r})%{w}%?%+Lw%?%?%= %{g}][%{B}%Y-%m-%d %{W}%c %{g}]'
