Rename windows from is1, is2, etc ?

Post by meggen » Sat Feb 02, 2013 12:40 am

Hi,
Probably an easy fix but i'm being blind and can't find the answer.

In InnerSpace, can I set the window names to be the character names instead of being named 'is1', 'is2', etc ?

Thanks.

I think I've found the command I need but it does not appear to work :(

Looking at the wiki I should be able to use WindowText ${Me.Name}
but that just renames the window to NULL.

Basically, I just want the window to have the same name as the profile I'm using.

So, if I select profile Bob, I want the window to be titled Bob.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

The command is WindowText, but ${Me.Name} is not something that is built into Inner Space, it's just an example of a way that, if you had the right objects available to your script, you might be able to use the command.

If you want it titled Bob, put WindowText Bob.

If you want it titled based entirely on the Profile you selected, put WindowText ${Profile}

Thanks Lax,
I took a copy of the DefaultStartup.iss, renamed it Startup.iss and modified the WindowText entries to use ${Profile} then set the Innerspace to use Startup.iss and it worked perfectly. Windows now have 'profilename Ctrl+Alt x' in the title bar :)

Got another question.

How do I make the profiles startup 'fullscreen' ? At the moment they always startup windowed and I nave to hit Shift+Alt+F everytime.

Thanks for the quick reply, much appreciated.

Shift+Alt+F executes the "fullscreen" alias.

You can probably just add "Fullscreen" to your Session startup sequence
