dzen2 - general-purpose messaging and notification for X11

Author

Dzen2 has been written by RobertManea.  This manpage has been written, based on dzen  documentation,  by
       Petr  Ročkai,  for Debian GNU/Linux, but may be used by others. This manpage falls under the same licence
       as Dzen2 itself, see /usr/share/doc/dzen2/copyright.

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 bar meters and such).  See  README  for  detailed  usage  and  scripting
       instructions.
