Hi everyone,
I'm wondering if there's a simple way to postfix ' emacs' to all frame
titles without resorting to [elisp from the web][1]. Couldn't find
anything in Chapter 25 but I didn't search much harder than that.

Thanks in advance!

I'm using
(setq need-app-name-in-title (not (eq window-system 'pm)))
(setq frame-title-format '((need-app-name-in-title "Emacs: " "")
;; contains "Emacs: " for special buffers
;; mode-line-buffer-identification
(buffer-file-name
;; "%f"
mode-line-buffer-identification
;;; (:eval (mode-line-replace-regexp-in-alist-with-prop
;;; buffer-file-name
;;; mode-line-abbreviation-alist
;;; (car mode-line-buffer-identification)))
"%b")))
(This may or may not be dependent on mode-line.el which provides
meaningful buffer names.)
Hope this helps,
Ilya

No, you need to use Emacs Lisp: that is the "format" of customizations
in ~/.emacs (M-x customize notwithstanding).
Here's what I use:
(setq frame-title-format
'("" invocation-name "-" emacs-version "@" system-name ":"
(buffer-file-name "%f" "%b")))

In EmacsW32 I use
(setq frame-title-format "%b - Emacs")
This is probably what people on ms windows expect. Is that what people
on other GUI systems expect as well?

I am stuck on Microsoft Windows at work, and there I expect (just like
a different proprietary platform I use at home):
* to know which version of Emacs is actually running (emacs-version);
* to know whether it is running on my local desktop or a remote server
e.g. via RDP or Xming (system-name);
* to know whether the buffer is visiting a file or not; and if so,
what the full path is to a file (%f); otherwise, what Emacs has
named it (%b).

Hi Lennart
I tried (setq frame-title-format "%f - Emacs"), it's cool.
However, the full filename of "%f" is usually too long.
Can I truncate the string with fixed length?
Regards,
Denny

You can try this.
(setq frame-title-format '(:eval (concat (if (< 10 (length buffer-file-name))
(concat (substring buffer-file-name 0 6) "...")
buffer-file-name)
"- Emacs")))
I assume 10 is the max length of filename than you want to.

Thanks, Lei, your code works. And I has extended it to a lisp codesnnipet,
which is exactly what I want.
I post it here, in case others need it.
Notice: There is an enhancement here, which is replacing setq with local
variables.
I tried to do this, but has failed, due to my poor lisp.
Since this is a minor issue for me, so I keep lazy here. ^-^
;; -------------------------- separator --------------------------
(setq frame-title-format
'(:eval (concat "Ask 5 why, Denny! -- " (buffer-name) " -- "
(progn
(if buffer-file-name
(setq buffer_name_str buffer-file-name)
(setq buffer_name_str ""))
(if (< (length buffer_name_str) 50)
buffer_name_str
(concat (substring buffer_name_str 0 20) "..."
(substring buffer_name_str
(- (length buffer_name_str) 30)
(length buffer_name_str))
))))))
;; -------------------------- separator --------------------------

Denny
