Add tooltip to windowTitle

[DanMQt]

Hello, I have a use case I assumed would be fairly common. I am setting the windowTitle on my QMainWindow and using the windowModified mechanism. I would like to add a tooltip with the full file path when hovering over the window title. I would almost think this should be standard if both windowTitle and windowFilePath are both set. However, I can't figure out how to do this. I can't get the QLabel for the windowTitle, the windowIcon returns a QIcon which doesn't support a tooltip, I also can't figure out how to get the title bar widget. Is there something I am missing?

I can add a statusToolTip to the QMainWindow but this is not what I want.

@DanMQt Hi
You could try making the Mainwindow borderless and then personalizing the borders and window titles so you can set the tooltip.

The window decoration (like TitleBar) isn't controlled by Qt, so you can't just add a tooltip somehow.
Haven't checked if there is any, but you need to find a native approach for your OS/environment.

As @Pl45m4 has written. Furthermore I have never seen a Windows or Linux app which has a tooltip when hovering the window title, so I don't know why you would think this is standard. Up to you whether you want to do the extra work to achieve it.
