I want to be able to set the window title (and icon) of the current
frame to the current buffer file. I've googled this newsgroup and
I keep finding methods that involves set-frame-title or
modify-frame-parameters. However, I cannot seem to find these
options or settings on my Emacs.
The only thing I can do is: default-frame-alist (name . "foo")
However, it doesn't take a variable name like %b or (buffer-name).
It only take the literal string and sets the window title to it.
See my library frame-cmds.el for easy ways to do this:
http://www.emacswiki.org/elisp/frame-cmds.el. This library works with Emacs
21, 20, 19....
In this library, you will find commands `rename-frame' and
`rename-non-minibuffer-frame', which do what you want.
You will also find ways to _automatically_ rename each frame after the
buffer in its selected window each time you iconify the frame (see commands
`iconify/map-frame', `mouse-iconify/map-frame', and `iconify-everything').
