How do I change terminator title bar default text

Question

I am using terminator as my terminal. Currently its title always comes prefixed with raj@raj-Lenovo which is my username and host. SO if I cd ~/test. It would show raj@raj-Lenovo ~/test as the title.It makes it difficult to read the entire title when I alt+Tab. Is there anyway to change the prefix permanently? It would just show ~/test. I couldnt find it through GUI.

Most terminal emulators have an option to set the title bar default text, and it should work for terminator too.

Maybe this what you want?

PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -en "\033]0; $("pwd") \a"'

It should change the title automatically even when you add new tab. See this link

and if it works you can modify the Exec line in the corresponding desktop file.
