WINDOWTITLE()

[speedfixer]

If this function is not called before setting a new windowed mode via Screen (Graphics), the program window will use the executable file name (without the extension) as title by default.

This appears to not be true, at least for what I have seen. I think this has been true for some time - I just noticed it.
I get "Unnamed Window"

It is a bug, or just change docs. Doesn't matter to me.
If this works correctly on latest version, then no problem.

I still use:

On my Windows PC, this behaves as it is written in the documentation.

To other users:
What is the default title of a graphics window depending on the platform you are using?

As described, indeed. Win10 here.

On ubuntu x86_64, I see the "UntitledWindow"
I'm guessing this changed sometime around 2009. Originally, only one window was created.

Current X11 driver creates up to 3 windows
- a frame window, appears not used when mode is no-frame
- a full screen window, only used if gfx mode is full screen
- a client window for the drawing, always used

When X11 driver initializes the mode, the client window is set with the executable name
fbc's windowtitle statement sets the frame window name, which is shown by the window manager and in the frame

I don't think this was a deliberate choice.
Because if you start the mode with say SCREEN 12,,,fb.gfx_no_frame then the exe name is displayed in the window manager title bar. But then windowtitle statement can't change it.

I think the easiest way for documentation may be to move this sentence:

If this function is not called before setting a new windowed mode via Screen (Graphics), the program window will use the executable file name (without the extension) as title by default.

in the paragraph "Platform Differences" as specific to Windows.

@fxm, don't forget to add ScreenRes() also (for completeness sake).

[coderJeff]

Looks like it will be an easy fix in the source to match manual, which is nice for a change. Hopefully can get it merged in today.

Good news !

@fxm, don't forget to add ScreenRes() also (for completeness sake).

Done:
KeyPgWindowtitle → fxm [added link to 'Screenres' keyword]

[D.J.Peters]

On the WindowTitle() page I would add a two more links !
