Is it possible to get the statusbar to show the application thats currently running in the terminal?

that would be a neat feature for tiling window manager users. When you run multiple terminals on one screen you need a way to very quickly distinguish them from one another.

tmux has such a feature but it's feature set is so retundand with tiling window managers that it's not worth using considdering the associated learning curve, configuration and workflow breakages.

If seen people make the tmux/screen comparison here and on hn and wholeheartedly disagree with shox beeing redundand. For me shox looks like a much more unixy tool would finally fit well into my workflow as a tiling window manager users. I'd use shox as a terminal headline of sorts.
