I'm collapsing these to one ticket, since it's likely I'm just missing something and they're all similar "I need a property," but feel free to hack this into separate tickets.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Having created a lightweight replacement for my note-taking application, there are three significant inconveniences I haven't been able to figure out.

There doesn't appear to be anywhere to add a window title to the top-level components.
Similarly, the Window component (or maybe App?) doesn't seem to include an icon, leaving empty panels in Alt-Tab visualizations, taskbars, and the like.
I can't find any way of setting up word wrap for the multi-line TextInput component; this ticket exists for v1.

Describe the solution you'd like
Properties for title, icon, and wrap seem like the most obvious route.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Not much I can do about the window-level properties. In theory, I could try to manually write code to split lines at the component width and re-join lines, but that's a bit excessive when the underlying component probably has the facility.

Additional context
Probably N/A, since this is a lack of things, but feel free to ask for specifics.

Again, I'm not sure if this rates a separate issue, but to avoid clutter, I'm also hoping that there's a way to disable controls. Right now, I'm hiding them, which isn't terrible, but isn't ideal in every case.
Still, this is so much better than working off of libui...

Not having a title and desktop/tray icon is a real show stopper for a production app.
