Description

For the Focused Window widget:

In full size mode, when window has no window title, only the app name is displayed as it should be.

But when compact mode is switched on, it displays nothing which is visually jarring.

Expected Behavior

Not sure the best intended solution here, but probably hiding it completely would work I guess.

Or maybe display the app name in only this specific circumstance? (But I'm not sure about this solution since it breaks expectation- we are only displaying titles, and now displaying app name as an exception, which is kinda strange)

Steps to Reproduce

1, add focused window widget
2, set to compact mode
3, focus on app which has no title (I used Signal as an example)

Error Messages/Logs

No response

Screenshots/Recordings

Full size mode and no window title, looks fine

Compact mode and no window title, it's just empty
