Hi all,

I've been working on a new version of ROBOI for a few months and I noticed that even though I set the game window's title, the top title bar on the Mac still says "AppGameKit Player". I'd like to update that to something more professional. Also, is there a decent way to update the game's icon? I imagine I can do all of this through XCode but I'd rather not have to go that route if possible.

Thanks!

@fubarpk - I'm running AppGameKit on a regular MacBook Pro without Windows. I'm not sure there's a command in that plugin for changing the title of the status bar to something unique.

Not probably what is really wanting to here but since the player is pre built if using tier 1 there is probably no way to change this with going and rebuilding the player through tier 2 to your specifics titles or icons.

What I ended up doing was using the AppGameKit Interpreter app from AppGameKit Classic, editing it in XCode, and seeing that the title bar is now updated to what I want. The instructions I found are located here:
