# al\_set\_new\_window\_title(3)

Allegro 5 API

## NAME

al\_set\_new\_window\_title - Allegro 5 API

## SYNOPSIS

-

  ```
  #include <allegro5/allegro.h>
  void al_set_new_window_title(const char *title)
  ```

## DESCRIPTION

Set the title that will be used when a new display is created. Allegro uses a static buffer of [ALLEGRO\_NEW\_WINDOW\_TITLE\_MAX\_SIZE(3)](/ALLEGRO_NEW_WINDOW_TITLE_MAX_SIZE/3.md) to store this, so the length of the titme you set must be less than this.
