Title Bars: UI Text Guidelines 

All program windows, dialog boxes, wizards, and message boxes have title bars.

• Use title caps.

• Do not use ending punctuation.

• Do not use the words warning, caution, or error in a message-box title bar. Instead, use the program name.

• Title bars in dialog boxes and wizards should reflect the command that opened them. For example, if you click New and then click User to open a dialog box, the title bar of that dialog box should be New User.

• Write title bar text according to the type of window, as shown in the following table.
