    Question QUestion

    Im pretty new to API and i got a question, is there a way to change the Text of the title bar(Temporarily) in any program(EX. instead of it saying America Online, i change it to AOL)?

    Also is there a way to change the background color of a program to something else.

    Thanks for the help, sorry for the noob question

    You can change the title bar text, using SetWindowText. In order to use it though, you'll need to have the handle to the window, which you can find using FindWindow.

    Changing the backgruond color might be achieved through the SendMessage API, but I'd have no idea what message to send.
