You want to add window flags to the display.  For the window list escapes
(%w), add the 'L' qualifier: '%-w' becomes '%-Lw' and '%+w' becomes '%Lw'.
Where you're displaying th info for the current window ('%n %t'), add the
'%f' escape.  The 'windows' command also puts an asterisk on the current
windows, which the '%f' escape does not, so I add it in manually.  Instead
of '%n %t', I use '%n*%f %t'.
