GLUTSETICONTITLE(3)

💖 GLUTSETICONTITLE(3) — the iconified-title glow-up 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the OpenGLUT manual, under the window section — and it's literally just "hey window system, can u change the lil name that shows up when my window is all smol and iconified?" ✨

🎀 LIBRARY

OpenGLUT — window stuff, specifically. 🪟

✨ SYNOPSIS

#include <openglut.h>

void
glutSetIconTitle(const char* title);

like, that's it. one function, one argument, no drama. 💅

🌸 PARAMETERS

• title — the new window title, bestie. that's the whole assignment. 🫶

💜 DESCRIPTION

so basically, this function requests that the window system change the title of the icon — or whatever it is that gets displayed — when the current window is in iconified mode. 🦋

and like, if u read what it says under glutIconifyWindow(), most window systems let a window be put into some kind of minimized / iconified state. when it's in that state, the normal interior of the window is probably gonna be obscured, and honestly the only clue anyone has about what's inside that window might just be the window title. 😭 so yeah, this matters more than it looks. main character energy for real. 👑

💀 CAVEATS

ok so this is the part where u gotta pay attention, bestie, no cap.

• the effect is system-dependant. fr fr. 🫠
• there — Exactly what "iconified" means is system dependant. 💀
• iconification might not even be supported, or the title might not be available — or legible. 🙈
• so pls, avoid putting essential information into the icon title. like, do not do that. it's giving risky. 🚫

👀 SEE ALSO

• glutSetWindowTitle(3)
• glutIconifyWindow(3)

k that's the whole page, bestie — this lil gem is dated UNDATED and the version tag says UNTITLED(), which honestly is so on brand for a function about titles not being available. 😭💅 mwah, go forth and iconify responsibly. 🎀✨🦋
