Ok, IMHO signals are the most forgotten ones in programming.

great

> Could you elaborate on this?

Well, the idea is to allow to progressive rollup/rolldown dzen2 using the
mouse wheel, and show more or less lines depending on the times you turn
the wheel...sorry for my bad explanation..I could explain this better in
ascii art..

 [_eth0_] ; folded dzen

 [_eth0_]____ ; one line dzen (wheel+1)
 |___________|

 [_eth0_]____ ; two line dzen (wheel+2)
 | 2 KB/s |
 |___________|

 [_eth0_]____ ; three line dzen (wheel+3)
 | 2 KB/s |
 | 4 KB/s |
 |___________|

this is. rollup/rolldown the dzen window using the wheel O:)

I forgot to explain another idea:

 - fg/bg color for the button window (the first line)

   this way we'll be able to define different colors for the window title
   and another for the rest. Just for eyecandy purposes O:)
