I Tried Customizing What Emacs Shows in the Title Bar

After I started opening remote files with Tramp, I wanted a quick way to tell which host the file I was editing belonged to. I found someone who had written a useful article, so I tried applying the same setting to my Emacs.

Configuration

I used the settings described on this page. Much appreciated.
Show the time and file name in the Emacs title bar

With settings like this, the full path of the file is displayed in the title bar. The time is shown too.
For files opened remotely, the path includes the host name, so this works well with Tramp.

How to Directly Edit Ubuntu or CentOS Files from Emacs for Windows - Emacs Tramp

I use Ubuntu and CentOS with VirtualBox + Vagrant. Sometimes I need to edit files such as Java, JavaScript, or CSS files, and installing Emacs in a VM just for that felt tedious. Even if installed, an unconfigured Emacs does not feel very good to use.

Configuration

To edit files remotely from Emacs, use a mechanism called TRAMP. If the environment is accessible over SSH, you can edit files with the same feel as editing local files on Windows.
