Is it possible to center align UWP apps' Title? #3

It would be nicer if UWP apps' Title can also be center aligned.

I'd be great, but unfortunately, I don't know of any method at the moment. I think, although I am not 100% sure, that UWP applications custom draw their title bars, and if that is the case, we'd have to look for a way to do it with the help of the framework that powers this. I do not have that much insight, sorry.

doesn't this help?

I don’t know, I am not familiar with the API… nevertheless, if the title text is custom drawn, one would have to inject the processes or cold patch the library that draws those, if any.

Window decorations hardly are a compositor’s task these days unfortunately, so that’s why it’s pretty hard to do the kind of job WinCenterTitle tries to do.
