Re: [kde-linux] Current window title

Can I get the current window's title/caption with DCOP? For example:

"Current window title - KMail" - that's what I see right now.

How?

Depends what exactly you are looking for.
For example getting KMail's window title (caption) works like this#

% dcop kmail kmail-mainwindow#1 caption

However it is not possible to query KWin for the currently active window, you
can only ask the window if it is the active one

% dcop kmail kmail-mainwindow#1 isActiveWindow

Cheers,
Kevin
