GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 323316
GtkMessageBox should set empty window title by default
Last modified: 2006-05-08 21:39:33 UTC
According to the HIG http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/windows-alert.html alerts should not have a window title. GtkMessageBox is used often for an alert. Therefore it would be wise to default to an empty window title instead of now to "Question", "Information" etc.
Created attachment 56096 [details] [review] patch
Could somebody take a look at the attached patch please?
Can somebody review the attached patch please? The patch is really simply it removes one line and it adds another
i don't think implementing this behaviour at the toolkit level is a good idea, rationale was given on gtk-devel-list: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2006-February/msg00155.html
Note that there is a more extensive HIGification patch in another bug whose number eludes me at the moment, which includes this change.

It's just not having one by default. Every developer can set the window title to whatever he or she wants If you get 20 warning windows which have all as the title "Warning" it's also not terribly usefull. Furthermore most of the times a gtk-message-dialog is used as a dialog of the app which does not appear in the window list, but is just modal with respect to the app
