+A title can be set to distinguish dots in the menubar:
 
 ```sh
 ANYBAR_PORT=1738 ANYBAR_TITLE=First  open -na AnyBar

 ## Custom images
 
 AnyBar can detect and use local custom images stored in the `~/.AnyBar` directory. For example, if you have a `~/.AnyBar/[email protected]` image, send `square` to port 1738 and it will be displayed. Images should be 19×19 pixels for standard resolution, and 38x38 pixels for retina (@2x).
