One line of code, and a whole heap of frustration removed for those of us running multiple clients at once.

The character title now appears in the window's title bar and in the system tray. SetWindowText how I love thee so.

Nice one, CCP.

Edit: Don't mind me. I'm just unobservant.

Seriously? >_>

I guess I need to give Ultramon a kick in the teeth. It's constantly showed EVE to me.

Sorry for the dumb post then.

He's half right.

There was a setting in the system menu to put the name there, but it was removed and now it's displayed for everybody Smile

Well you most likely did not have the settings checked before in the settings menu so it's new for you!

Yeah, did used to wonder why it wasn't just enabled by default. Spose it's one of those updates that 'just make sense'.

I have always used distinctive color schemes to quickly distinguish which character is in a given window. This one is blue, other alts are red, green, orange, cyno alts are pink, etc.

Doesn't really help when you can't see the window. Much easier just to look at your taskbar and click.

This is exactly what we thought as well, also makes the system menu less cluttered so you're more likely to notice settings that you might want to change Blink

The option was there pre-crucible, post crucible the checkbox was cleared for window indentifiction everytime the client was restarted.

So how did you fix this?? altering a simple bit of code? hell noes,.. your removed the option altogther.

why did you omit this fact?

So if something breaks and it's going to take time to fix it than just hardcoding the option in that will benefit all, why not? Surely this does 'just make sense'. What?

Why the rage bro?

oh no rage,. well kinda,. but not about the removal of the option, i think thats a good thing

its removing it and saying its because of anything else than the fact they broke it, thats the only reason

what can i say i hate liers.

I think you misunderstand because you are under the assumption that CCP went and deliberately broke an option, only to go and have to fix it later.

how am i under the assumption they broke it on purpose??? how did you get that??

The lie was purposeful sure, but in no way did i say or indicate that i beleaved that the option was broken intentionally.

Try reading it again,.. only this time even slower than before,... sorry no gold star this time

I did not lie about anything, when fixing it (because it was broken) we thought "why not just make this so for everybody? not only for people who have this checked in the system menu" - I think we were right about that, at least OP didn't know about the option before.

I'm really sorry if my reply offended you in any way or made you feel like I was lying to you, because that was not what I was trying to do.

Can't we just all be friends now Smile
