Describe the problem/motivation

Request to add support for reading the current open window title.

Describe the solution you'd like

I've used GlazeWM v2 to show in the middle of the bar the current open window title, so I can see what window is being focused. Would be nice to have this back and allow the provider to have a variable controlling the max length of the title.

Alternatives considered

There was an example in the glazewm/zebar discord. Always recommended to check there first. Unfortunately, some user reported, that it doesn't work, but this config for the center group works fine:

group/center:
    styles: |
      justify-self: center;
      display: flex;
    template/glazewm_other:
      providers: ['glazewm']
      template: |
        {{glazewm.focusedContainer.title}}

You should be able to style the appearance to your liking. This is also just a minimal solution and some functionality is missing:

  • shows active window from different workspace in multi monitor setting
  • it doesn't update the title when switching tabs in apps like Edge or notepad(++)

P.S.:
The snipped from discord looks like:

template/glazewm_current_window:
      providers: ['glazewm', 'date']
      styles: |
        .current-window {
          color: white;
          white-space: nowrap;
          max-width: 300px;
          overflow: hidden;
          text-overflow: ellipsis;
        }
        .time {
          color: #bac2de;
        }
      template: |
        @if (glazewm.focusedContainer?.type === 'window') {
          <span class="current-window">
            {{ glazewm.focusedContainer.title.length > 80 ? glazewm.focusedContainer.title.slice(0, 80) + '...' : glazewm.focusedContainer.title }}
          </span>
        } @else {
          <span class="time">
            {{ date.toFormat(date.now, 'EEE    d MMM t') }}
          </span>
        }

However, this does not automatically update the window title, it only triggers the update when glazewm does some action (switch focus, full screen trigger).
