Screenshot from 2019-05-02 13-36-23 I want to show cmus in the Application Title but I can find any option in preferences.

I don't think that's in tilix's scope. You should patch your application to set the terminal title. It can be accomplished by simply outputting \x1b]2;Your Title Here\x07 to stdout.

There's actually a hidden option in dconf for tilix called process-monitor that does this, but it's actually very buggy and results in crashes when enabled. If someone wants to have a look at the code and fixing it up feel free.

For future reference, this seems to be closed as a duplicate of #937.

And regarding the hidden dconf option, the instructions to use it are described here.
