Hi there

Is it possible to add current selected run mode in IDE title, like
compilation mode ?

Best regards

You mean "build mode"?

Menu: Tools > Options
Page: Environment > Windows
"IDE title show selected build mode"

If you do mean "run mode", as in "run" vs. "run without debugging"
then no, AFAICT there's no way to do it. At least not w/out modifying
Lazarus itself. So I was wrong: when using normal "Run" the caption
shows "(debugging)", which it doesn't when clicking "Run without
debugging".

When F9 is pressed the program is run in debugging mode and the word
"(debuging)" is shown in the IDE's window caption. If you mean some
other thing, try to explain it more clearly, as in "when I do this and
run the program like that I want the IDE's title to be such but when I
do this ..." (replace this and that and such by a correct
description).

ETA
OK, I think I finally got it: you mean the "mode" set in "Run
parameters", as shown in the atached image. If that's so then AFAICT
there is no way to show it in the IDE's caption, sorry.

I am not hijacking topic, but I need same caption as in IDE, but in
Source Editor, I use it in full screen, i need to add more info to
Source Editor like Debugging, Compiling etc... and also Build Mode too

There's actually no option to see it, it's a fact ! impossible to add
it ?

As with the original question, it's not possible (as of the current
version 2.0). The editor just shows "Source Editor" in the caption and
all "title" customization options (few as they are) are for the tabs
themselves.

Your best bet would be to use a "docked" IDE with only the editor
docked, though that's not quite the same as having the source editor
maximized: the menu, component palette, etc would still be visible.

Nothing (or almost nothing) is impossible, but you (or someone else)
would have to modify Lazarus to add the option and its implementation.
