Hello @Satzd68,
The App Inventor's website title is being set dynamically at:

github.com

mit-cml/appinventor-sources/blob/0670fc6bb2f0ba014eeaea31a4afa269aa364fd6/appinventor/appengine/src/com/google/appinventor/client/Ode.java#L889


/*
 * Initializes all UI elements.
 */
private void initializeUi() {
  rpcStatusPopup = new RpcStatusPopup();


  // Register services with RPC status popup
  rpcStatusPopup.register((ExtendedServiceProxy<?>) projectService);
  rpcStatusPopup.register((ExtendedServiceProxy<?>) userInfoService);


  Window.setTitle(MESSAGES.titleYoungAndroid());
  Window.enableScrolling(true);


  topPanel = new TopPanel();
  statusPanel = new StatusPanel();


  DockPanel mainPanel = new DockPanel();
  mainPanel.add(topPanel, DockPanel.NORTH);


  // Create the Tutorial Panel
  tutorialPanel = new TutorialPanel();

So, if you want to change the title to something else, you may want to modify the corresponding OdeMessage to your new name:

github.com

mit-cml/appinventor-sources/blob/0670fc6bb2f0ba014eeaea31a4afa269aa364fd6/appinventor/appengine/src/com/google/appinventor/client/OdeMessages.java#L387


// Used in MotdFetcher.java


@DefaultMessage("Failed to contact server to get the MOTD.")
@Description("Message displayed when cannot get a MOTD from the server.")
String getMotdFailed();


// Used in Ode.java


@DefaultMessage("MIT App Inventor")
@Description("Title for App Inventor")
String titleYoungAndroid();


@DefaultMessage("An internal error has occurred. Report a bug?")
@Description("Confirmation for reporting a bug after an internal error")
String internalErrorReportBug();


@DefaultMessage("An internal error has occurred.")
@Description("Alert after an internal error")
String internalError();


@DefaultMessage("An internal error has occurred. Go look in the Debugging view.")

Oh thanks I also did not know that....

Satzd68 · April 27, 2021, 10:58am

@MohamedTamer But i could not find the line where i could change the values.

MohamedTamer · April 27, 2021, 12:13pm

You should do your changes to the OdeMessages class, you can find it at appengine/src/com/google/appinventor/client/.
The ode message that you need to modify is titleYoungAndroid.
