setwintitle

Function	Expected argument	Default keybinding
setwintitle	<window ID> <text>	N/A

The setwintitle function allows for an alternative title to be set for a client specified by a window ID.

The window ID is expected to be an integer, not a hex value, and need to be for a window that is managed by the window manager to have any effect.

This will be displayed instead of the normal window title if the functionality AltWindowTitles is enabled.

This functionality is only available via external commands:

duskc run_command setwintitle 52656622 "Xterm"  # sets window 52656622's title to "Xterm"

Also see the settitle function.
