16       desigend to be scriptable in any language and integrate well with  win‐
17       dow  managers  like  dwm,  wmii and xmonad though it will work with any
18       windowmanger.

20       Dzen expects the status message on its standard input, and uses a  cus‐
21       tom formatting language for colors and several other features (like bar
22       meters and such). See README for detailed usage and scripting  instruc‐
23       tions.
