Window title is not showing

Hi,

Last time I think it was related to being in Agent instead of Editor mode.

This time I’m in Editor mode and the window title is still broken:

It should be showing the file path as per:

But now it’s a button with a dropdown menu that I don’t want or need.

How do I get it to show the window title I’ve set?

Thanks

Hey, I can see the screenshots, and the issue makes sense.

This is a known issue. Cursor’s custom title bar doesn’t respect the window.title setting from VS Code settings. Instead of your custom format with the file path, it shows its own UI with the project name and a dropdown.

The team is aware. For now, you can try a workaround: set window.titleBarStyle to native in settings. This switches to the native macOS title bar, which should show your custom window.title.

Let me know if that helps.

It does not.

Yeah it didn’t fix the issue for me either that setting controls the look of the window not the title which is still broken in latest update

According to this comment it will be fixed in v2.7 - Custom titlebar ignores window.title setting - #9 by msfeldstein
