confirm(), alert() and prompt() dialog boxes show 'JavaScript' as their title

[DivineOmega]

Using the confirm(), alert() and prompt() functions will bring up the appropriate dialog boxes as expected. However, they show JavaScript in the title. This seems inappropriate for the most common use of nw.js - building of desktop applications.

Would it be possible to remove the 'JavaScript' title from these dialog boxes, and either them it blank or replace it with the application name as defined in the the JSON application manifest?

I'd love to hear people's thoughts.

IMO it would also be okay if the window titles just showed the type of the dialog ("prompt" for prompt, "alert" for alert etc.). I agree that "JavaScript" is suboptimal.

@ComSecNinja That would make sense too.

If someone could point me in right direction, I'd be happy to submit a pull request for this. I'm having trouble locating where these dialog boxes' are generated.

Maybe look in the shell_javascript_dialog.* files in /src/browser/. Just a guess.

This should be working with latest version now.

In 0.13 we changed to an optimized architecture so more features can be supported, see http://nwjs.io/blog/whats-new-in-0.13/ and it's good for keeping up with Chromium upstream -- we released with Node.js v6.0 and new Chromium versions within 1 day after upstream release.

The new version would fixed many issues reported here and we're scrubbing them. This issue is closed as we believe it should be fixed. Please leave a message if it isn't and we'll reopen it.
