When you called ‘alert’ in shoes, it says in the popup “Shoes says:”.  
This seems to be hardcoded in the source as:

```
const char *dialog_title_says = "Shoes says:";

```

Anyone know the quickest/simplest way to change this?

I don’t have a way of altering the title, but that’s a good idea,  
I’ll chalk it down on my list for the next release.
