## Property Documentation

### `[deprecated]` windowIconText : QString

This property is deprecated. We strongly advise against using it in new code.

This property holds the text to be displayed on the icon of a minimized window

This property only makes sense for windows. If no icon text has been set, this accessor returns an empty string. It is only implemented on the X11 platform, and only certain window managers use this window property.

This property is deprecated.

Access functions:

QString | windowIconText() const
void | setWindowIconText(const QString &)

Notifier signal:

void | windowIconTextChanged(const QString &iconText)

See also windowIcon and windowTitle.
