DTP – window titles are now left aligned

AppleScript Dialog Toolkit
#1

I’ve recently reconfigured my script libraries so that there is less risk of exceeding AppleScript resources. That involved running Shane Stanley’s script for adding symlinks to the /Script Libraries/ folder of each script library. One result is that I no longer need to store script libraries in users’ ~/Library/Script Libraries/ folder.

I use DTP to create enhanced windows for my applet. I’ve just noticed that window titles on all windows are now left aligned, instead of centre aligned. There is no option in DTP for changing the alignment of window titles. I’ve not change code inside DTP for some weeks. The only change I’ve made is to add the symlinks.

Has something changed in Apple’s frameworks which would explain window titles now being left aligned ?

Thanks.

The default was unfortunately changed in macOS Tahoe:

Many thanks. Do you know of any Apple documentation on the change ?

No, regrettably. You would think it important enough to mention somewhere. :roll_eyes:

Yes, it should have at least been in release notes for developers. Instead it was a few seconds in a WWDC video. But, that’s SOP.

I don’t mind it being left-aligned (I think it makes sense actually).

What bothers me is that the title not vertically centered, which makes it look like a mistake in my view:
