Can't set custom title #4954

Code of Conduct

What happened?

This is more likely a user issue than a bug.

I use a small script to change the title of the currently open shell:

param([string]$a)
$host.ui.RawUI.WindowTitle = $a

But with oh-my-posh this no longer works as it override anything I set. How do I disable or replicate this functionality in oh-my-posh?

Theme

This is more likely a user issue than a bug.

I use a small script to change the title of the currently open shell:

param([string]$a)
$host.ui.RawUI.WindowTitle = $a

This allows me to name each tab either manually or through a currently running script (e.g. Dave, GitHub Thing etc...) But with oh-my-posh this no longer works as it override anything I set. How do I disable or replicate this functionality in oh-my-posh?

What OS are you seeing the problem on?

Windows

Which shell are you using?

powershell

Log output

n/a as not an error

If you remove the console title template, this will work (or adjust the title template to display what you need).

NebularNerd commented 5 months ago

Found it, it was at the bottom of the theme file not the top. Knew it was me 😂

Is there a way to set the ability for oh-my-posh to control the console title while running?

JanDeDobbeleer commented 5 months ago

You can always set an environment variable which can be used in the title template.

NebularNerd commented 5 months ago

OK, so if I set: "console_title_template": "{{.Env.MYTITLE}}"

Then set an env variable with $Env:MYTITLE = "Powershell - Awesome Title"

That's going to change all tabs, not just the open one.
