C.10 Frame Titles

Each Emacs frame always has a title, which appears in window decorations and icons as the name of the frame. The default title is of the form ‘ invocation-name@machine’ (if there is only one frame) or shows the selected window’s buffer name (if there is more than one frame).

You can specify a non-default title for the initial Emacs frame with a command line option:

‘ -T title’ ¶‘ --title=title’

Specify title as the title for the initial Emacs frame.

The ‘ --name’ option (see X Resources) also specifies the title for the initial Emacs frame.
