None of which have options to change title truncation. So it looks to
me as though, if you want to truncate the title in the middle, you
will have to do it yourself. Maybe do something like compare the
window's width to the size of your title (in pixels), and cut the
title until it fits?
TruncateThemeText() can remove characters from the middle (or end) of
a CFMutableString until the remaining characters (plus an ellipsis)
fit into a specified width.

And then register for
NSWindowDidResizeNotifications to do this again whenever the window
is resized?
Makes sense to me. So when a window is resized, receive the
notification, get the new window width, subtract a fudge factor (to
account for the fact that titles aren't drawn all the way to the
edges of windows), run this width and the window title through
TruncateThemeText(), and -setTitle: using the resulting string. No
need to know or care whether the string was actually truncated.
