Show Name of Sandbox

[calisun]

If I have several instances of Firefox open in different instances of SanBoxie, right now there is no way to know which instance belongs to which sandbox.
My suggestion, right now when a mouse is moved close to the border, a yellow box shows around the window indication it is sandboxed. What we could have is also a Name showing up at the same time when the yellow border shows up. It would only be an overlay, yellow box goes away, Name goes away. See attached picture of proposal.

As there is little room for how to interpret this, I opened an issue for it to be tracked.

Right now, there are the following things that can be done:

You can display the box name in the title by adding

BoxNameTitle=y

to the sandboxes (With Sandman it can be enabled in the Sandbox Options > General Options > [Box Options] > Appearance > "Sandbox Indicator in title:" where you select "Display box name in title"

You can use a different color for each sandbox.

BorderColor=#00ffff,ttl,6

(default color code, shown when mouse is over the title, with default thickness)
Sandbox Options > General Options > [Box Options] > Appearance > "Sandboxed window border:"
The second dropdown, allows you to pick a color, which can be different for each box.

Aside from any random process being sandboxed, there is something many browsers support. Assuming that different profiles are used, different themes could be used for each sandbox. Of course, that is only helpful for programs that support different styles.

I think @bastik-1001 nailed this one for you. The in-SBIE border and title options are likely what you want in this case though I admit they don't have the title in the middle (or only when the border is shown) like you suggested but I think they may get the job done?

Just in case:
However, I have had occasion to want something similar (especially when I wasn't using SBIE and wanted an easy way to identify which user the program ran as) and did so by creating .reg files I could apply per user upon creation (in my case the users are re-created after the boot phase during the 'Group Policy Startup Phase' so that they always start 'clean' and as such each program tends to have its own user but they were not created for this reason...just a happy extra I found along the way) to make its title bar a different color but it gets kind of messy because by default Windows (at least 10...I don't recall seeing it enabled on 11 either but I wasn't focused on this aspect) applies auto-coloring based on the prevalence of colors in the chosen\current background\wallpaper so you need to disable that AND enable the title bar coloring aka AccentColor per user (thus my usage of .reg with pre-defined entries\colors for each user).

P.S.
I think this is a great request. I second it...despite existing options... (Sorry @Xanatos :-/) [though I'd rather it be in the lower LEFT corner, just because, muahahah! {Why so serious?}] In particular the Title changes being used or not....I do like the idea of mousing near the border and seeing the box title even if the 'Sandboxie Inidicator in titles' is disabled. (yeah another optional option....sigh)
