Hi, I know it is possibly to set the titles of X apps that honor the -name and -title parameters, however I would like to change the title of apps programmatically.
EDIT: Solved:
[root@kindle root]# xprop -name LBreakout2 -f WM_NAME 8s -set WM_NAME bob
:2thumbsup
is a handyish shell to adapt to do stuff
however it seems that setting the title after it has been stuck on the background is not enough. nor is toggling the WM_STATE 0 to 1 or vice versa.
Thoughts on that gratefully accepted. Lipc? Lua?
Perhaps reparenting is the way forward?
