I use the following setup:
In .tmux.conf (ignoring colors):
setw -g window-status-format '#I.#P#F:#T-#W'
At shell startup:
tmux_title () {
if [ -z "$TMUX" ]; then
return 1
fi
if [ "$#" -eq 0 ]; then
tmux display-message -p -t "$TMUX_PANE" -F "#{pane_title}"
else
local title
title="$1"
shift
printf "\033]2;$title\033\\"
fi
}
# Initialize to nothing iff it isn't already set.
if [ "$( tmux_title )" = "$HOSTNAME" ]; then
tmux_title ""
fi
I then have a command "cdb" which uses "bookmarks" to change to a
project's directory, clear the directory stack, and to use the
tmux_title function to set the title on the pane.
By default windows in the status bar look like:
1.0-:-irssi
and after using cdb it is:
3.0-:uzbl-zsh

Agreed, I do love me clean C code (MPD is another example).
