Batch to Powershell: Title

If you try to set the title of the window in powershell, 'title' won't work; but you can set the title using the $host object

 PS C:\> $Host.UI.RawUI.WindowTitle = "Donkey" 

You can also mess with other fun things like colors eg:

PS C:\>  $Host.UI.RawUI.BackgroundColor = [ConsoleColor]::Red 

If you're a big title user and have title burned into your muscle memory you can always create function called title e.g.:

 PS C:\Temp> function title ($t) {$host.UI.RawUI.WindowTitle=$t }
PS C:\Temp> title Donkey2 

Have fun moving into powershell.
