Hi
I work on several versions of the same project simultaneously. Each version's project file name is the same. When I have them open in Flare, it is hard to know which window contains which version.
Is there a way I can change the title bar while working in Flare (not in the output)? I need just a temporary UI adjustment for my own purposes while working.
For example, instead of each Flare windows saying "MyProject," I would like to have each window's title bar say "MyProject Version 1.0" and MyProject Version 2.0".... I can manually change this each time I work, or, even better, if I could have field in the project settings for "Title bar text" so I wouldn't have to redefine the title bars each session, that would be great!
Thanks
Marta
How can I change Flare's title bar itself (not in output)?

Hi,
I guess this is not possible with the same project file name, but maybe you can set a different theme for the other instance of the Flare interface.
Under Options (Menu file - right-bottom corner, next to Exit) select Interface and at theme select Silver for once instance and black for the other instance of Flare running.
Another option could be to define a different (background) color for some element used everywhere, for example have each title (heading 1) shown in a different color in one of the versions, as long as the files are being edited, and change that back to the final color before publishing.

Hi there,
I'd recommend logging a feature request with MadCap. What you're requesting would be really useful, and it would be super easy for MadCap to implement.
