Changing KiTTY Window Title

D - Sun 24/06/2012 15:21:09 CEST +0200

I would like to title my KiTTY window's, so that when I log into a system, I can change the title to the hostname so it's easier to identify which KiTTY session is logged into which machine.

I've tried the following 3 methods, all of which don't work.

echo -e "\033]0;This Is My Window Title And My Icon Title\007"
echo -e "\033]1;This Is Just My Icon Title\007"
echo -e "\033]2;This Is Just My Window Title\007"

Thanks

I changed the title using the Behaviour option in KiTTY, however I am now wondering why the method above does not work.

Aaarrgh ! There is a bug here, where the 'changed window title [Behaviour setting]' is reset to the default of root@localhost:~

It is not a KiTTY issue.
I works fine with me, maybe a server setting on your side ?

There is some unexpected behaviour when resizing the window when the option "Disable remote-controlled window title changing" is set: whenever the window is resized, the title changes back to the title set in the client.
