What is the ? in the title bar?

and, how did it get there and how do I get rid of it?

If you previously had an item in that location, it got moved, renamed, or deleted. If not, it came from a random edit to a plist file and isn't indicative of anything else.

Is there a way to modify the name displayed in the Title Bar at the top of the Audition Window?

It's not uncommon for me to have a copy of Audition versions 1.5, 2.0 and 3.0 all open at the same time if I'm doing some editing for a complex project.
It would be handy for me to quickly see which window I have open without having to recognise the icons of the different versions. At the moment, each Title Bar just displays the Audition icon and the words "Adobe Audition". I'd like to add the version number to the name, if it's possible. I'm happy to edit the Windows Registry, if that is what is needed.
Does anybody know where the Title Bar information is stored?

I have an answer you might like Howard.
You could simply export one title to a PRTL file, then duplicate it using an Excel VB macro to change the name of the file based on a list in an excel file. You could type in a couple of dates, then just drag down to the 365th row and all of the dates would be there waiting for the macro to rename the file. Then, if you are really talented, you could find the appropriate text in the XML file and change it to match the name of the title, but without the PRTL extension.
That way the font and position and style would all be right and the effort would be in a file you could share with the world.
Hmmm. I might have to try that myself one of these days. Could come in handy. If you are more comfortable with Word than Excel, create the dates in Excel and paste them into a table in Word. Just be careful not to mess up the
Edit: Oh, and of course, you import the titles back into Premiere Pro.

Any way to get at the title bar in JFrame?

I'd like to either add a button to the title bar (title pane?) or override the behavior of the resize button. As far as I can tell, the LookNFeel classes don't allow you to add anything, just change colors, icons, etc. The WindowListener classes don't let you get at the resize button. I don't want to override Component.setSize() (that causes other problems), I just want to have the resize button do something different (or add another button).
I'd appreciate any ideas!

1) You could create your own frame that extends JWindow. This would be quite involved, since you'd need to make it respond to mouse drags, mouse resizing etc explicitly (if you wanted that functionality), but you would be able to add your own custom border, which you could make to look like a system border, or you could make comletely different.
2) I don't know this could be persuaded to do what you want, but you could try adding a ComponentListener to the JFrame to check for resizes, and take action accordingly

Embedding HTML in the Title Bar of a JFrame

Hi Folks,
I have a simple question. Do you know I can I employ an HTML-enabled script in the title bar of a JFrame? I would like to make use of the subscript tag in HTML <sub>, yet it didn't work out:
public class MyFrame extends JFrame{
super("<html>KPC<sub>V.10</sub></html>");
}I don't know what I am doing wrong, but the title appears with the HTML tags, not in the way I would like it to be formatted. What would you suggest?
Regards,

The frame title is (typically) set in a native OS frame, which is not controlled by Java.
Perhaps if you tell Java to let the L&F control the frame decorations it might work, but probably not, as it would probably just try to mimic what the OS does anyway, which is to not support HTML.
So basically, you can't.

How do I get the full current path in the title bar of a terminal window?

Is it possible to get the full current path in the title bar of a
terminal window? I would find that more meaningful than
"Terminal - tcsh - 80x60" (which I currently get). Doing
this would free me from wanting to display the path in my
system prompt thereby allowing me to use a shorter prompt
and having more space on the line for actual input.
Thanks

IIRC, Terminal->Window Settings->Window controls that information. That said, I don't understand what full current path means in this context, nor why you'd want to display it in title bar.
Your terminal prompt is a concatenation of your computer name (SysPrefs->Sharing—easily changed) and the path to your user's home directory using the short username (hard to change).
computer name:~ username$

Who Will Be the First to Tweak IE9 To Restore the Page Title into the Title Bar?

It's a well-known fact that if you disable the tabbed view (i.e., you prefer to use multiple separate windows for your browser pages) the Page Title from whatever web page you visit doesn't show up anywhere.
How does a blatant omission like this pass a design review?
It's like someone at Microsoft doesn't think titles belong in Title Bars any more. Who is this person, and do they actually USE a computer?
In a similar vein, Windows Explorer windows no longer put the path in the Title Bar -
unless you use one of the fine aftermarket products such as ShellFolderFix or ClassicShell to restore the Title Bar to service.
Has anyone figured out yet what to tweak to put the page title in the Window Title Bar for IE9?
-Noel

I see I just got another up-vote for the original post in this thread.
Perhaps it's time to follow up...
TODAY, with Windows 8.1 and IE11, we see that you can no longer eliminate tabbed view. Thus there is a place - at the expense of some space for the address bar, where the page
title appears. But it is not the Title bar, and it's usually not wide enough to fit the whole title.
Why is Microsoft continuing to choose to do ANYTHING but follow their own desktop usability standards?
We see the ongoing departure of application design from standards not only in IE, but also in Office and other Microsoft applications.
Hey! We users didn't designate that space across the tops of windows as a title area. Microsoft did. We just got used to using it. When we look to activate the proper window on our desktops, we look at the titles. Fortunately,
there are 3rd party developers who make programs to put the right things back, but I'm forced to ask: Why? This is not an accident.
Are we being groomed by Microsoft to become used to and ultimately begin to accept random UI design?
Microsoft engineers, are you being instructed to make your designs less conformant to desktop usability standards by your bosses? If so, you need to tell them to kiss your collective asses! You're not doing your products any favors by following
such ridiculous advice, and as your products go so will your company. You are not too big to fail!
People will only allow themselves to be manipulated for so long. Then you'll find some other company has made a product that's better (something you're
facilitating by making your product worse) and is eating your lunch.
Have a nice day in Redmond.

Hide the title bar of a movie window like QuickTime X

Love the feature of QuickTime X of not showing the title bar/the control bar of a movie window (still waiting for Pro version, though. Is it coming out at all?)
I'm wondering if anyone has figured out a way/tweak to hide the title bar of a iTunes movie window like QuickTime X.
Thanks.

What child window are you referring to? Do you mean a browser window opened with web.show_document?
If so, you can use javascript to hide browser toolbars and so on. Search the forum for some javascript examples where windows are opened with toolbar=no.

How to customize the title bar on my own Look And Feel?

Hi all!
I am creating my own Look and Feel which extends from NimbusLookAndFeel. What I'm doing is overwriting UIDefaults values??, referring to the Painters. For example:
+uiDefault.put ("Button [Enabled]", new ButtonEnabledPainter());+
But now I need is to customize the title bar of the JFrame's, but I do not see this option in Painter's values ??can be overwritten by Nimbus (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/lookandfeel/_nimbusDefaults . html).
You know as possible? I have to overwrite an existing UI component? The idea is I want to make the look and feel like SeaGlass, but the code seems a bit complex to know where to begin.
I hope you can guide me on this issue.
Thank you very much for everything! And excuse my English!.

I want to show the caption in the title bar if the tab bar is hidden.

Is there any addon or configuration setting that i can use to show the caption in the title bar instead of the tab? I want to do this because i have set my browser to hid the tab bar if only one tab is opened.

That is what i asked for but is not exactly what i want. I do not want the menubar to be shown at all. I want the tabs in the titlebar (the default behaviour). I want, when only one tab is open to hide the tabbar (this i have already succeded) and to show the caption in the titlebar.

How the show version of the Acorbat in the title bar?

How the show version of the Acorbat in the title bar?
I’m not sure if there is an option that shows the version of the Acobat (8.0, 8.1, 9, …) on the title bar! Wondering why it is not shown by default. We need to know where we are!
AutoCAD has this feature!
Thank you for the help,
Best
Jamal

You can try the Feature Requests forum, but to be honest I don't see what's
the big deal. As you showed in your screenshots, a single click on the Help
menu reveals the version, and if you click on the "About" item, you'll get
all the full version info. And since you can't have more than one version
of Acrobat on the computer, there's no real chance of accidentally using
the wrong version.

How to change the title bar wdith , scroll bar widths in tune with a 7" screen

can you please help me customize my user chrome section so that I can REDUCE the WIDTH of the scroll bar ( horizontal and vertical ) . That is , at max the scroll bar can be ___ pixels of __ % of total width. ( prefer the relative reference )
Also the title bar ( that black surrounding area that bears the minimize, maximize,close buttons ) needs its width reduced to half of what it is now. How do I do this ?

No. That doesn't work any more. In current Firefox versions native scroll bars are used and you can't do style those via userChrome.css (user interface; chrome windows) and userContent.css (websites). You can try a large theme if you do not want to make the changes via the Control Panel

Adding a button to the title bar

I need to place a button in the upper-right corner of an NSWindow's title bar. In Interface Builder, I can place a button in the correct spot, but it is always beneath the title bar. To work around this, I'm currently using a subclassed NSWindow with a borderless mask and creating the title bar, including the stoplight buttons, from scratch.
Is there a better way to do this or a way to re-order my button on top of a title bar? It seems like there should be a simpler way to achieve this effect.

The name you type into the file properties is the name you
will see when the

Writing a specific text in the title bar of a content area

Hallo,
We have created several Content Areas which will be published as Webpage (NOT as Portlet to a Portal-Page! As example you can visit our Project Homepage http://pan.wsr.ac.at:7778/pls/portal30/url/FOLDER/ACCESSLAB/).
Unfortunatly in the Title bar of the Browser there is always displayed the Title "Portal Content Area Builder".
How can we change this Title to a more descriptive one for each specific Content Area respectively each Folder of a specific Content Area?
Thanks,
Christian

The frame title is (typically) set in a native OS frame, which is not controlled by Java.
Perhaps if you tell Java to let the L&F control the frame decorations it might work, but probably not, as it would probably just try to mimic what the OS does anyway, which is to not support HTML.

No Track Name in the Title Bar

In iTunes v10.0, when I right-click a track and choose Get Info,
the window's title bar says "iTunes" instead of the track's name.
This was originally posted in September 09, but this issue still isn't
resolved in iTunes 10.0.1
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10176900&#10176900
PS: I only have one library.

when I right-click a track and choose Get Info, the window's title bar says "iTunes" instead of the track's name.
That's what it's supposed to be. The title bar is the name of the iTunes library you are using.
but this issue still isn't
resolved in iTunes 10.0.1
I doubt there's anything to be resolved. It is working the way it's supposed to work.
The track name that is playing it in the "LCD" info window at top of iTunes.

"Backup file" appears in the title bar.

Hi there,
I've been writing a VI which has recently crashed but I could recover it using the backup file. However "Backup file" now appears in the title bar as shown in the picture I attached with this post and I would like to get rid of the "Backup file" in the title bar . I've tried the "save as" option using a different name but "Backup file" is always present.
Could someone help me on that one?
Thanks a lot
Badis
Solved!

Badis,
please check if the displayed VI name is set to Backup File (VI settings >> Window Appearance).
hope this helps,
