Centering window label

[josefreichelt]

There doesnt seem to be a way to center the window title label.
Using v1
I'd expect TextAlignment to affect it, but it doesnt.

Is there a way to do this?

In v1 there is no option for that. But in the v2 will have.

See #2505

@josefreichelt while this feature is appearing in v2 you can still achieve a similar thing in v1 with some manual drawing. See the code I had for this in the FileDialog. Something similar will ultimately mainfest in v2 so you can just remove it later on when you upgrade.

This code gives something like:

public override void Redraw (Rect bounds)
{
	base.Redraw (bounds);
	this.Move (1, 0, false);

	// TODO: Refactor this to some Title drawing options class
	if (ustring.IsNullOrEmpty (Title)) {
		return;
	}

	var title = this.Title.ToString ();
	var titleWidth = title.Sum (c => Rune.ColumnWidth (c));

	if (titleWidth > bounds.Width) {
		title = title.Substring (0, bounds.Width);
	} else {
		if (titleWidth + 2 < bounds.Width) {
			title = '╡' + this.Title.ToString () + '╞';
		}
		titleWidth += 2;
	}

	var padLeft = ((bounds.Width - titleWidth) / 2) - 1;

	padLeft = Math.Min (bounds.Width, padLeft);
	padLeft = Math.Max (0, padLeft);

	var padRight = bounds.Width - (padLeft + titleWidth + 2);
	padRight = Math.Min (bounds.Width, padRight);
	padRight = Math.Max (0, padRight);

	Driver.SetAttribute (
			  new Attribute (this.ColorScheme.Normal.Foreground, this.ColorScheme.Normal.Background));

	Driver.AddStr (ustring.Make (Enumerable.Repeat (Driver.HDLine, padLeft)));

	Driver.SetAttribute (
			  new Attribute (this.ColorScheme.Normal.Foreground, this.ColorScheme.Normal.Background));
	Driver.AddStr (title);

	Driver.SetAttribute (
			  new Attribute (this.ColorScheme.Normal.Foreground, this.ColorScheme.Normal.Background));

	Driver.AddStr (ustring.Make (Enumerable.Repeat (Driver.HDLine, padRight)));
}

Ah I see, thank you very much for the response
