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
