I spent a lot of time experimenting with my caption to get something
like that going, though now that I have it (and haven't touched it in a
while) I don't remember exactly what the trick was. I think I guessed
that the right section would always be about 48 characters and that's
what the "%-48=" bit is about.
Here's the .screenrc section:
# This adds a statusbar:
# - windows and their flags before the active one are listed in white and
truncated with ...
# - the active window and it's flags are in bold cyan and aligned slightly to
the left
# - the rest of the windows are printed and truncated so that
# - a string describing the current machine, load, and date/time are right
aligned
caption always "%{= .w}%-Lw%20L>%{=b .c}%n%f %t%{-}%+Lw %-048= @%H - %l - %D %d
%M - %c"
Here's what it looks like on a small terminal window:
...~ # 2$ ~ $ 3$ bpkr...@benji:~ # zl 4$ b... @rolo - 0.00 0.00 0.00 - Sun
31 May - 17:39
