Hey all, new linux convert here and loving it in general and Amarok in particular.
In order to make my display more efficient, however, I would prefer to edit out the "Amarok - " from the window title, so it will simply display as "

Are you talking about editing the source code? Other than that, I don't think it's possible to change the text in Amarok's titlebar.

Sure. Of course, editing a preference file would be easier, but hey, you can't always get what you want.

you will have to edit the source. no idea which particular file - but I'm sure you'll figure it out

It's done! For those that might want to emulate such behaviour in the future...
The file is app.cpp. Search for '%1' and you'll find several lines with "Amarok - %1" in them. Remove everything else, leaving only "%1" within the quotation marks. Amarok will now display only the song title and artist in the titlebar while a song is playing (or paused, etc.), but will retain the "Amarok" titlebar when no song is presently loaded. |
