FramelessWindow

A frameless window / title bar written in C++ and built for Qt projects.

The design is loosely based on CustomWindow.

However, resizing and other methods are implemented through Qt::WA_Hover or QHoverEvent instead of mouse move related events.

Features

• Minimize
• Maximize and restore
• Close
• Roll up and roll down
• Move support
• Menubar support
• Resizing from all corners
• Resizing from all edges
• Fullscreen mode
• Works on Qt 6 and above
• Edgehit handling(kinda messy)

Style

The frameless window consists of a title bar, central widget and bottom bar, all inheriting QWidget within various layouts(ui).

The look and feel of the window is derived from the "framelesswindow.css" file, mostly pointing towards a dark theme.

Documentation

The frameless window class and its methods have been clearly documented in the "framelesswindow.h" header file with doxygen format. A PDF file is also provided in docs directory.

Examples

An example on handling a QMainWindow/QWidget with menubar is provided in the example folder.
