Ability to update the window title with scripting. Something like

`sys.set_window_title( title )`

Or model from love - many of the features they have Defold doesn’t and would be very useful

`sys.window.set_title( title )`  
`sys.window.get_title()`  
…

[https://love2d.org/wiki/love.window](https://love2d.org/wiki/love.window)

It could be supported for HTML5 builds too with helper.

`document.title = title;`

There are some kinds of games where being able to change the Window title is useful. Such as a form of notification for chat messages or events “(1) Game Title”.
