DESCRIPTION

       Dzen  is  a  general-purpose  messaging and notification program for X11, desigend to be scriptable in any language and integrate well with
       window managers like dwm, wmii and xmonad though it will work with any windowmanger.

       Dzen expects the status message on its standard input, and uses a custom formatting language for colors and several  other  features  (like
