when you are on Linux.
Don't know, what is displayed in the titelbar under Windows or Mac, maybe
they are more luxury...
For showing the programs name and the current document or tab under X,
the properties _NET_WM_VISIBLE_ICON_NAME (short titel) and
_NET_WM_VISIBLE_NAME (long titel) have to be set by the program.
I'm neighter an experienced C/Cpp coder, nor do I know much about X besides
it's name, but I hope, there is a feasible way to simply give at least the
name (short titel) to the _NET_WM_VISIBLE_ICON_NAME, if it's already declared
in the code.
It seems so, Xprop shows this here for the GE window:
- Code: Select all

The problem is, I don't even can find the part of the GE code, where such
settings are done.
If someone here can give me any clue, I would look, if there is anything I
could try.
On my system, I'm helping me with this launcher script:
- Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
# Requires (M)awk and Wmctrl on your system.
#
# Fill in the correct path, where GE is
# stored on your system on line 12.
# When you are on a less powerful hardware,
# and GEs name is not displayed in the
# titelbar, give sleep a little more time
# on line 13.
#
(cd /path/to/GameEditor && ./gameEditorLinux) &
(sleep 0.1s &&
hex_GEWindow=$(wmctrl -lx | mawk '{if ( $3 == "GameEditor.GameEditor" ) hex_WID = $1}; END {print hex_WID}') &&
wmctrl -i -r ${hex_GEWindow} -N "GameEditor")
This sets the _NET_WM_NAME property.
Put it somewhere into your path on your system, make it executable, and you
can start GE just with "GE14.bash"(or whatever you name it), plus the windows
titelbar will display GEs name, GameEditor !
Inside the script, you have to fill in the path, where GE is stored on your
system.
Maybe, you have to increase the sleep a little, depends on your hardware.
