Hi Anselm,

This does not work for me. It's not clear to which the tags the vertical
lines belong and I find I have to look at the status bar longer to
figure out what's going on.

The original set-up with the dots was quite satisfactory as far as I'm
concerned. A combination of dots for occupied tags and a rectangle for
the tags of the focussed client is also okay but more obtrusive than
just the dots.

cheers,
Anthony
