(Solved) Changing Game Title

#1 Post by cubierocks » Wed Jul 24, 2013 9:57 am

Whenever I launch my renpy game I'll hover my mouse over the icon and it will read "renpy" I want to change that into the title of the game "Derpworld".
I've already gone into options and changed it to:

config.window_title = u"Derpworld"

and

config.window_title = "Derpworld"

(not sure if the 'u' is important, so I tried it both ways)

and it doesn't change anything.

Am I doing something wrong or is it only because I haven't released the game yet (so it stays as only a 'renpy project')?

config.window_title = u"Derpworld"
& config.name = "Derpworld"

If you want to change the title on the Renpy launcher, you have to change the folder's title directly:)

Which folder?
I made the changes you listed above, but nothing changed.

Try building distributions, and launching the built distribution. There's some file renaming that goes on when you actually build.
