Titlebar text show/hide idea. #116

UXL Launcher idea: Add a tab to the Options window called, "Titlebar". This tab has a list of things the user can hide or show on the titlebar. By default, many things are shown in addition to the app name, including version number and 32- or 64-bit Mode. This tab will allow the user to hide the app name, version number, and current "mode setting" (32/64-bit Mode). In addition, newer versions of UXL Launcher show "stability text" (such as "Git" or "Stable") in the titlebar directly after the version number. This text should also be added to the things that can be hidden. I could probably set this up via My.Settings by having multiple My.Settings entries like titlebarShowAppName, titlebarShowVerNumber, titlebarShowTitlebarBitModeString, and titlebarShowIsStable. In tooltips for the checkboxes on the "Titlebar" tab, put text describing what each of the options does if the option isn't straightforward. For example, DON'T have a tooltip for "Show app name" or "Show version number", but DO have a tooltip for "Show development status" ("Shows whether the currently running build of UXL Launcher is considered to be stable, beta, or a number of other statuses.") and "Show current 32/64-bit Mode setting" ("The 'Mode' setting is based on 32-bit or 64-bit Windows being selected in the Options window."). At the top of this tab, there will be a label telling the user that the checkboxes below control what's shown in the titlebar, and to click a "Show all items on titlebar" button if they want to show all of them.
