Is there a way to set the title of the console in the colinux.conf
file i the command options.

I have looked and can't find any thing like that.

no, you can't. The title line will be update from console depends on the 
current state (attached or detached).

I'd like that to be implemented, too. I think it could be set using a
special sequence for PS1, like you do in Xterm. I think
colinux-console already has a parser for the escape sequences, right?
I'll see if I can figure how to implement that. And I also wish I had
time to help with the patches for a newer kernel :(

coLinux use the kernel "struct consw" in same way all other video 
drivers used it (frame less graphic cards). There is no option for 
title, as I known. Xterm uses other ways and more subfunctions.

To add a title to coLinux console, needs to change directly in the user 
land console programs on host side.

No. coLinux console is changed the title line after starting the 
colinux-console-nt.exe or colinux-console-fltk.exe.

You can set the titly by windows and disable the console spawning and 
than run colinux console from explorer or from other command prompt. 
Than you would have a title line, but only for the colinux-daemon, not 
for the console.

  C:\> title "your text"
  C:\> colinux-daemon -d ...
  open second prompt
  C:\> colinux-console-nt.exe

Run Linux on Windows or other OSes, natively.
