I'm on macOS, the app is named "cool-retro-term". It would have been nicer to have the name as "Cool Retro Term" or "CRT", a word play on Cathode Ray Tube.

I think it should be CRT. I'm guessing that was the whole idea. I just came here to open this issue as I'm trying to look like a leet haxor here and there is nothing less cool than calling your terminal "cool" haha. Cool is what other people call you, not what you call yourself, and this terminal is a conversation starter.

OK I dug through the code and it seems like it is possible to change the window title, but not the app name:

Open Terminal and navigate to the cool-retro-term application bundle, then run it with -T:

cd /Applications/cool-retro-term.app/Contents/MacOS
./cool-retro-term -T "CRT"

If you want to change the actual app name to be CRT then thats going to require a PR to either add the option, or just outright rename the project:
