Many programs do it in a slightly different manner.
They set different titles for active window, and minimized and/or inactive
window.
Say, you wanna track some progress with a progress bar/percentage.
When window is active, you can track it upfront, but when it's minimized, the
only way to tell is an icon in taskbar.
