Flutter desktop - change window title from Dart code

Question

I am unable to find any way to do that when searching official documentation. Does anybody know any way to do that?

Solution 1

It is possible, as mentioned in https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/30712

In pubspec.yaml add

dependencies:
  window_size:
    git:
      url: git://github.com/google/flutter-desktop-embedding.git
      path: plugins/window_size
      ref: fd519be1e8398c6b6c2062c2447bac960a71bc02

Now in your code just call

import 'package:window_size/window_size.dart';

setWindowTitle("Custom window title");

Works fine on Linux. Haven't tested on Windows/Mac

Solution 2

Go to windows > runner > main.cpp folder, find a " !window.CreateAndShow(L"schedule_task", origin, size) " And change the "schedule_task" text

Solution 3

Ok, that seems to be not possible (yet), but work in progress: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/30712

While this does work, it removes the ability to use localization functions to have different text for different locales. If you need that functionality, it's probably better to use the solution from @tomrozb

Thai text was displayed incorrectly. :(

Can't edit answer, but make sure to add WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized(); before setWindowsTitle("").
