A curtain rod assembly for supporting a generally tubular cover and a slidable depending curtain, comprising:

• a generally tubular member having a longitudinal slot therein defining an opening in said tubular member of a given width;
• and
• a track having a first means for retaining a portion of said cover within said slot of said tubular member, said first means comprising a shaped portion projecting from said track, said shaped portion comprising a first member and a second member oriented generally transversely to said first member, said second member comprising a first arm and a second arm extending away in opposing directions from the first member, each arm having a width in a direction laterally away from the first member, a sum of the widths of said first arm and said second arm being greater than said width of said slot for retaining said second member within said slot, said width of said first arm being greater than said width of said second arm, said track having a second means for receiving and permitting sliding movement of a plurality of retainers for said depending curtain.
