I agree it's not ideal ... friendly notes from customers to developers often work, though, so if you're inspired, you could ask the Spotify folks to provide a window title so that third party apps would work better with their app. (Such notes from customers are usually more effective than developer-to-developer exchanges).

Yea, one of the drawbacks of having to use a system that relies on window titles ... but as we're a window switcher, well, we sort of had to :).

Ah I see, a bit out of our hands then.

It's a little bit of an eyesore given all other single window apps have at 
least the apps name as the Window Title.

Thanks though! Keep up the excellent work :)

I'm not sure I understand -- Improved in what way? It says Untitled because Spotify doesn't provide a window title. We have to choose one word for all apps with such windows, and we chose Untitled ... because, well, it is untitled.

To make it better, Spotify would need to provide a window title (it doesn't have to be visible, but it has to have one). Witch would then automatically see and use their window title.
