This section covers how to implement various use cases for window customization on macOS, Windows, and Linux. note BrowserWindow is a subclass of the BaseWindow module. Both modules allow you to create and manage application windows in Electron, with the main difference being that BrowserWindow supports a single, full size web view while BaseWindow supports composing many web views. BaseWindow can be used interchangeably with BrowserWindow in the examples of the documents in this section. 📄️ Custom Title Bar Application windows have a default chrome applied by the OS. Not to be confused with the Google Chrome browser, window _chrome_ refers to the parts of the window (e.g. title bar, toolbars, controls) that are not a part of the main web content. While the default title bar provided by the OS chrome is sufficient for simple use cases, many applications opt to remove it. Implementing a custom title bar can help your application feel more modern and consistent across platforms. 📄️ Custom Window Interactions By default, windows are dragged using the title bar provided by the OS chrome. Apps that remove the default title bar need to use the app-region CSS property to define specific areas that can be used to drag the window. Setting app-region: drag marks a rectangular area as draggable. 📄️ Custom Window Styles !Frameless Window Edit this page Previous Taskbar Customization Next Custom Title Bar Docs * Getting Started * API Reference Checklists * Performance * Security Tools * Electron Forge * Electron Fiddle Community * Governance * Resources * Discord * Bluesky * X * Mastodon * Stack Overflow More * GitHub * Open Collective * Infrastructure Dashboard Copyright OpenJS Foundation and Electron contributors.
