New subject: [trinity-devel] Is titlebar caption information - configurable anywhere?

1 Mar 2014

Darrell, All

  I've searched the code in attempt to find out where the titlebar information
is created so it can be turned off to get clean screenshots. It is almost
impossible. The titlebar information is set in tdebase/twin/client.cpp at line
2261. It is a minefield of what you may get for each window. It can be forced on
a per-window basis in special window settings, but other than doing that
manually for each screenshot, there are few options. It would be nice if there
was a setting in Window Decorations that would allow this to be overridden, but
I cannot find any such setting. If anybody know where a configuration option is
hidden that will override setCaption, please let me know. This is what happens
to set the window caption (note all the helpful comments in the code):

void Client::setCaption( const TQString& s, bool force )
    {
    if ( s != cap_normal || force )
        {
        bool reset_name = force;
        for( unsigned int i = 0;
             i < s.length();
             ++i )
            if( !s[ i ].isPrint())
                s[ i ] = ' ';
        cap_normal = s;
        bool was_suffix = ( !cap_suffix.isEmpty());
        TQString machine_suffix;
        if( wmClientMachine( false ) != "localhost" && !isLocalMachine(
wmClientMachine( false )))
            machine_suffix = " <@" + wmClientMachine( true ) +
">";
        TQString shortcut_suffix = !shortcut().isNull() ? ( " {" +
shortcut().toString() + "}" ) : "";
        cap_suffix = machine_suffix + shortcut_suffix;
        if ( ( !isSpecialWindow() || isToolbar()) && workspace()->findClient(
FetchNameInternalPredicate( this )))
            {
            int i = 2;
            do
                {
                cap_suffix = machine_suffix + " <" + TQString::number(i) +
">" +
shortcut_suffix;
                i++;
                } while ( workspace()->findClient( FetchNameInternalPredicate(
this )));
            info->setVisibleName( caption().utf8() );
            reset_name = false;
            }
        if(( (was_suffix && cap_suffix.isEmpty())
            || reset_name )) // if it was new window, it may have old value
still set, if the window is reused
            {
            info->setVisibleName( "" ); // remove
            info->setVisibleIconName( "" ); // remove
            }
        else if( !cap_suffix.isEmpty() && !cap_iconic.isEmpty()) // keep the
same suffix in iconic name if it's set
            info->setVisibleIconName( ( cap_iconic + cap_suffix ).utf8() );

        if( isManaged() && decoration != NULL )
                decoration->captionChange();
        }
    }
