al_get_new_window_title(3alleg5)

al_get_new_window_title 💖✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro 5 API manual page for al_get_new_window_title — this one lives in the Allegro reference manual and honestly? it's a lil cutie. let's get into it 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

const char *al_get_new_window_title(void)

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. she takes no arguments, she returns a const char *, and she's ready to spill 🫶

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so basically, this function returns the title that will be used when a new display is created. like, it's the little name tag your future window is gonna wear 👑

what it actually gives you back is the value that al_set_window_title(3alleg5) was called with. so if you set a title, that's what you get. periodt.

but — and this is the plot twist 🙈 — if that function wasn't called yet, then you get the value of al_get_app_name(3alleg5) returned as a default. so there's always something, no sad empty strings here, we don't do that 💅

⚠️ okay important, don't skip this: the current implementation returns a pointer to a static buffer, of which you should make a copy if you want to modify it. so like… do NOT go editing that string in place, bestie, that's giving undefined chaos 💀 copy it first, fr fr.
