Application Title Update 04/09/2018 01:35 PM CDT
I just pushed a new update into the live instances that will change what StormFront's application title (the top of the program or the name on the toolbar in Windows) will look like.

Prior to this update you'd see something like [GSIV: Wyrom] StormFront. The abbreviation changed depending on the instance you logged into.

With the new update it will always look like [GemStone IV: Wyrom].

But wait, there is more!

You can type FLAGS to see a new setting at the bottom, HideSFName, which will let you toggle whether your name is visible in the application title. The reasoning for this is with auto-detection with Discord gaming. If you don't want people knowing who you play, but you want people to see you playing, this will solve that. GemStone IV is in the process of being added to Discord's list of games that it recognizes, so this update is in preparation for that. As an FYI, you can ALWAYS turn auto-detection off in Discord.

You will need to log out and back in to see all changes, including the initial update.

Instead of "GemStone", could you revert to the "GS" acronym? (And I could live with or without the "IV", because... well, it's not like we could play a different version, even if we wanted to.)

Given how crowded TaskBars can get, I'm a huge fan of having actual useful information be as left-most as possible in Window Title bars....

False start! I'll give the developers of Lich a little bit to get this in order.

Having GemStone IV is the key to this update. We won't be using any acronyms with it.
