I have a few instances of node red running and I would like to add a simple title to the title bar so I can keep track of which one I'm accessing. Often its just an IP address so having something to show a name would be good.
Is there a config item for this?
The simplest approach would be to add a text string after the Node Red logo and the text, Node-Red.
A better approach would allow the logo and text to be replaced.
Thanks,
Chris.

So changing the favicon and icon would be OK? as per the docs on settings.js
[https://nodered.org/docs/configuration](https://nodered.org/docs/configuration) see section on Editor Themes

I think a title property in the settings would be a good idea.
It could be displayed as the `` and as text along side the Node-RED text.
Something like...
🤞

I’ve never needed to change it, but isn’t that what the title in the settings.js does?
```auto
page: {
title: "Node-RED",
```

@ukmoose
I dont have that in my `settings.js` ?
I do use the --title command kine option when starting node-red but it doesn't modify the title or the `<title>`

Who knew.
... OK, so @knolleary knew (and the info info was [here](https://nodered.org/docs/configuration))
For anyone interested in setting the page title or header title - above image shows what you edit & what you get.
Every day is a school day.
Thanks.

Exactly what I was looking for. Sorry I missed it.
Thanks.
