How to display windows titles at the bottom of the screen using Byobu?

I'm using Byobu with zsh. As you can see in the screenshot below, all the windows created have "-" as their title. My colleagues using bash can see the program being run (bash, python, vim, ssh, etc.). How can I achieve the same?
Thanks in advance!

This behaviour appears to be by design when you're using the tmux back-end for byobu (default behaviour).
When you run byobu-screen you will see this functionality out-of-the-box.
If you look in the /usr/share/byobu/keybindings/f-keys.tmux file, you can see the line that binds the F2 key to open a new window:
bind-key -n F2 new-window -c "#{pane_current_path}" ; rename-window "-"
What do you know? The sneaky little fella renames the window to - as it's created.
You can override this behaviour by adding a line to your ~/.byobu/.tmux.conf file:
echo 'bind-key -n F2 new-window -c "#{pane_current_path}"' >> ~/.byobu/.tmux.conf
For some reason, this still doesn't work on the first window.

Thanks! The solution you propose doesn't work on the first window because the first window is not triggered by pressing F2 ;-)
