Show user name at top of windows

Post by ranik54 »

I've checked the forum but I can't find a way to show the username on the top window bar. This is useful because sometimes I need to use "Run as" to start XYplorer as Administrator and it would be nice to be able to differentiate it from XYplorer windows started as a regular user.

my version: 28.30.0400 (64-bit), Windows 11

Along these lines, when I have to launch XY as administrator, I want to see the word "ADMINISTRATOR" clearly in the titlebar. In fact it should be the first thing in the titlebar.

Right now I have two instances of XY open: one regular, one admin. And I can't tell the difference visually.

Can this done with a variable in the user options? Configuration | Colors and Styles | Templates | Title Bar

I searched through the Help but could not find anything. Not that it's not there, just that I didn't find it.

TIA...
