## Qt and OS * tested with Qt5.5.0, Qt5.9.0 and Qt5.10.0 * tested on Windows 7, Windows 10,MacOSX 10.12.5 and MacOS 10.13.2 ## PyQt5 Here is an [unofficial Python port](https://github.com/gmarull/qtmodern) of my implementation. ## How to use * add additional include plath to **framelesswindow** * add resources **framelesswindow.qrc** and **darkstyle.qrc** * add ``#include "framelesswindow.h"`` into **main.cpp**, create window ``FramelessWindow framelessWindow;`` and assign your mainwindow object as content ``framelessWindow.setContent(mainWindow);`` and show it ``framelessWindow.show();`` * add ``#include "DarkStyle.h"`` into **main.cpp** and call ``a.setStyle(new DarkStyle);`` ```qt #include #include "DarkStyle.h" #include "framelesswindow.h" #include "mainwindow.h" int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { QApplication a(argc, argv); // style our application with custom dark style QApplication::setStyle(new DarkStyle); //QApplication::setPalette(QApplication::style()->standardPalette()); // create frameless window (and set windowState or title) FramelessWindow framelessWindow; //framelessWindow.setWindowState(Qt::WindowMaximized); //framelessWindow.setWindowTitle("test title"); //framelessWindow.setWindowIcon(a.style()->standardIcon(QStyle::SP_DesktopIcon)); // create our mainwindow instance MainWindow *mainWindow = new MainWindow; // add the mainwindow to our custom frameless window framelessWindow.setContent(mainWindow); framelessWindow.show(); return a.exec(); } ``` ## features * frameless window * custom dark style (based on **Fusion style** with dark palette and custom stylesheets) * title bar * buttons (minimize | restore | maximize | close) * move window by drag the title bar * dobule click title bar to toggle between window styte (maximize and normal) * use of native events, like minimizing or system menu ## todo * [ ] [resize window on each corner [#1]](https://github.com/Jorgen-VikingGod/Qt-Frameless-Window-DarkStyle/issues/1) (some work done by [notecola](https://github.com/notecola) :+1:) * [ ] [snap on screen edges [#3]](https://github.com/Jorgen-VikingGod/Qt-Frameless-Window-DarkStyle/issues/3) ## thanks Many thanks goes to the [Qt Forum](https://forum.qt.io/topic/80654/how-to-create-vs2013-like-frameless-window-with-dark-style) and especially to [Chris Kawa](https://forum.qt.io/user/chris-kawa) for pointing me to some usual issues and hints of great must have features. ## Licence > The MIT License > > Copyright (c) 2018, Juergen Skrotzky (https://github.com/Jorgen-VikingGod, JorgenVikingGod@gmail.com) > > Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy > of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal > in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights > to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell > copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is > furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: > > The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in > all copies or substantial portions of the Software. > > THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR > IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, > FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
