    Is renaming the title bar for WoW considered "hacking" or against the TOS?

    I do this for aesthetical purposes. I like to name the windows I'm using, and I always play in tabbed mode so I always see the title.

    I post this question here cause people here are knowledgeable in what Blizz says is ok with the TOS and what is not, but am I really "hacking" the game for renaming the window that plays WoW?

    Will I get banned for this?

    Technically, all clients mods are prohibited. What you should be asking is:

    1) Can they track it?
    2) Do they care?

    My honest opinion is they don't give a damn, but perhaps you should wait for someone more knowledgeable to reply =)

    Thanks for the quick reply. I think I'm gonna forget about renaming the titlebar if the TOS is against it. Not worth it.

    It isn't against the TOU, it's a basic operating system function. You have a 0% chance of getting banned.

    You don't modify any of the game files to achieve this? If so, it isn't =)

    You can easily do it with a command line.

    My bad I thought you'd need to modify something client-related to do this. It's good than =)

    I'm like, wait a second that doesn't make sense, because if that's true, a lot of the bots would be allowed since they only read and write to the memory and not to any files in wow.
