for the window-manager it must be possible to change the color/icon/action in xmobar ...
but text that came from other "apps" like window-title must be escaped by the window-manager, he is the only one who knows the active window

The only pipe i know, between window-manager and xmobar, is the Stdin.

So how do you wanne split CurrentWindowTitle and WindowManagerInformations(like active window-page) via Stdin?
