elisp: Frame Titles

 
 28.6 Frame Titles
 =================
 
 Every frame has a ‘name’ parameter; this serves as the default for the
 frame title which window systems typically display at the top of the
 frame.  You can specify a name explicitly by setting the ‘name’ frame
 property.
 
    Normally you don’t specify the name explicitly, and Emacs computes
 the frame name automatically based on a template stored in the variable
 ‘frame-title-format’.  Emacs recomputes the name each time the frame is
 redisplayed.
 
  -- Variable: frame-title-format
      This variable specifies how to compute a name for a frame when you
      have not explicitly specified one.  The variable’s value is
      actually a mode line construct, just like ‘mode-line-format’,
      except that the ‘%c’ and ‘%l’ constructs are ignored.  Mode
      Line Data.
 
  -- Variable: icon-title-format
      This variable specifies how to compute the name for an iconified
      frame, when you have not explicitly specified the frame title.
      This title appears in the icon itself.
 
  -- Variable: multiple-frames
      This variable is set automatically by Emacs.  Its value is ‘t’ when
      there are two or more frames (not counting minibuffer-only frames
      or invisible frames).  The default value of ‘frame-title-format’
      uses ‘multiple-frames’ so as to put the buffer name in the frame
      title only when there is more than one frame.
 
      The value of this variable is not guaranteed to be accurate except
      while processing ‘frame-title-format’ or ‘icon-title-format’.
