Try
(setq frame-title-format
'(multiple-frames ("F"
(:eval (number-to-string
(length (memq (selected-frame)
(frame-list)))))
" %b")
("" invocation-name "@" system-name)))
I'm not opposed to making frame names unique, but first, I'd like to
hear about the use-cases where it matters.
I.e. what uses of frame-names are we talking about
(select-frame-by-name? The Frames menu?)?
What is the difference between those frames showing the same buffer
(is it just to display two different parts of a buffer, if so do the
various frames play different roles? Are they on different screens?
Can you see their names in the title bar? ...)
