Changing default page title for Sitecore Desktop, Launchpad and Content Editor
My client really wanted to change default page title for Sitecore Desktop view. I
have found that I can change it for Launchpad - by Item
/sitecore/client/Applications/Launchpad and field "BrowserTitle" in Core database:
But to change default Desktop name in page title in Sitecore 8 it is more tricky. Using only Sitecore, without changing application code, you can make it by changing /sitecore/system/Dictionary/D/Desktop on Core database. It will change browser title of website/sitecore/shell/default.aspx. I have tested that, and it works but for me it is very strange solution - it changes the proper translation of "Desktop" word!
As an alternative you can change the Title attribute of the FormPage node in the following file:
\sitecore\shell\Applications\Shell.xml - hightlighted as red:
For Content Editor application you can do similar, in the file \sitecore\shell\Applications\Content Manager.aspx change highlighted string:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <control xmlns:def="Definition" xmlns="http://schemas.sitecore.net/Visual-Studio-Intellisense"> <Shell> <Favicon Src="/sitecore/images/favicon.ico" /> <Stylesheet Src="Shell.css" DeviceDependant="true"/> <Stylesheet Src="Startbar.css" DeviceDependant="true"/> <Script type="text/JavaScript" src="/sitecore/shell/controls/SitecoreObjects.js" /> <Script type="text/JavaScript" src="/sitecore/shell/controls/SitecoreWindowManager.js" /> <Script type="text/JavaScript" src="/sitecore/shell/controls/lib/scriptaculous/scriptaculous.js?load=effects" /> <Script type="text/JavaScript" language="javascript" key="TrackModified"> scSitecore.prototype.setModified = function(value) { this.modified = false; } </Script> <FormPage Submittable="false" TrackModified="false" ForceGlobalHeader="true" Title="My Custom Desktop Title"> <CodeBeside Type="Sitecore.Shell.Applications.ShellForm,Sitecore.Client" FrameName="Shell"/> <img ID="Wallpaper" src="" alt=""/> <Border KeyDown="ShowStartMenu" KeyFilter="c91"> <Border Class="DesktopArea" ID="Desktop" ContextMenu="ShowContextMenu"> <Border ID="Links" Click="ClosePopups" DblClick="Launch"/> </Border> <div class="scStartbar"> <Startbar /> </div> </Border> </FormPage> </Shell> </control>
For Content Editor application you can do similar, in the file \sitecore\shell\Applications\Content Manager.aspx change highlighted string:
<title><%= Translate.Text(WebUtil.GetQueryString("he", "My Website Content Editor")) %></title>I hope that in next versions it will be more simple to customize, just like Launchpad, because some clients are very alerted to such details as title in the browser :)
