I read a colon as "is".  For example, "DIR: src/" means to me "the dir is src/".
So "Linting: src/proto.h" does not work for me.  (That's also the reason why for
switching buffers I chose a double hyphen.)  "Linting in:" could still be an
option, but as I like contrast, I want as much difference from the other title
bars as possible.

Two extra characters; not worth taking into account.

Yes, that is fine.  It limits the user's choices, but heck, it's not
worth adding another color option.
