2026-01-18 15:28:30 +0100 <liskin> That being said, I don't think it's something that's already been implemented, so you'd need to write a little bit of code.
2026-01-18 15:28:04 +0100 <liskin> Technically you can set custom properties on X windows, and it shouldn't be difficult to make xmonad decorations show then instead of the window title, if set.
2026-01-18 14:57:33 +0100 <haskellbridge> <Primrose (== Léana)> ymeister: Thanks for sharing! I use xmobar, but I don't meant to /retrieve title/ from programs, I want to attach custom labels on windows. I'm comparing two files side by side and they are really similar and the program doesn't tell me which is which, so I want to have something like a sticky note that helps be distinguishing which side is which.

2026-01-18 14:55:14 +0100 <haskellbridge> <ymeister> Do you mean window title in Polybar/Xmobar/...? What is the way you output your window title?

2026-01-18 14:01:46 +0100 <haskellbridge> <Primrose (== Léana)> Hello, I would like to know if there is a way to label windows with a custom string. I'm opening two files of the same name sometimes and it's hard to tell which is which.
