Squeak 5.1 Windows doesn't show image name at the Top

Hi,

other than on RasPi the Windows version 5.1 does not show the image name
in the title bar of the application window.

Right now I have 6 images busy and on my Windows machine it's hard to
know which is which.

Oh and I noticed we changed from the Squeak mouse to the Smalltalk
balloon Icon.

Well I'd prefer the special Squek symbol over the general Smalltalk symbol.

Cheers,

Herbert

Hello Herbert

On Windows you may use

DisplayScreen hostWindowTitle: 'Squeak 5.1 Prod-32bit'

to set the host window title. This does not work on Linux though.

It used to work on Linux – we added that for the OLPC project to show the currently loaded Etoys Project.

Sounds like a bug. The Windows VM used to show the image name as default window title.

Me too; especially for the 20th anniversary release.

Thank you Hannes,

Re: Squeak 5.1 Windows doesn't show image name at the Top

The problem is that the all-in-one has this line in the squeak.ini file:

WindowTitle="Squeak 5.1 (32 bit)"

This overrides the default image name, and instead shows "Squeak 5.1 (32 bit)" in the window bar.

If you delete this line out of the squeak.ini file, it will once again show the image name.

Alternatively, of course, you could give a nice descriptive name for each image that shows in the windows bar instead.

Even better! Thanks.

This is what I have done anyway
