Very nice, however why not just use the Window List applet instead of Window Selector? Then you don't have to bother with dzen at all.
Because the Window List applet generates the series of every narrowing buttons that typically appears in a bottom bar. Having such a UI element appear at the top of the screen would be disconcerting. Also, since I use layouts without title bars I need some place to render the full title of the current window. The most common tiling wm solution is as part of the top bar. At present I consider the Window Selector mostly a learning aid, clarifying for new users the distribution of windows across workspaces. This is because using it requires using a mouse. I may shift to viewing the Window Selector as a more integral part of the UI if I can figure out how to activate / navigate it using only the keyboard. /john
