You can drag title bar or menu bar on widget to move the window, double-click it to show maximize/normal.

Requirements

PyQt5 >= 5.15 - This package is using startSystemMove, startSystemResize which were both introduced in Qt 5.15.

Setup

python -m pip install pyqt-custom-titlebar-window

Included Packages

• pyqt-frameless-window - To import parent class FramelessWindow

• pyqt-windows-buttons-widget - To provide Windows 10 OS style min/max/close buttons with menu bar

• pyqt-mac-buttons-widget - To provide macOS style of min/max/close buttons with menu bar

• pyqt-top-titlebar-widget - For adding top title bar feature

• pyqt-svg-label - For setting icon/title to menu bar if user shows menu bar only

• absresgetter - For get absoulte resource path of svg icon to set window icon

Feature

• If you drag the frame, window will be resized.

• If you drag the title bar(menu bar if there is no title bar) of inner widget, window will be moved.

• If you double-click the menu bar, window will be maximized/normalized.

• Set the window title by itself if you set your inner widget's title with setWindowTitle. It also catches the windowTitleChanged signal of your inner widget.

• Support full screen feature. When full screen feature turns on, top title bar will disappear. Reappear when it turns off.

• CustomTitlebarWindow(CustomizedWidgetByUser()) - Constructor.

• setTopTitleBar(self, title: str = '', icon_filename: str = '', font: QFont = QFont('Arial', 14), align=Qt.AlignCenter, bottom_separator=False) to set title bar on the top of the window.

• setButtons(btnWidget=None, align=Qt.AlignRight) to add buttons(e.g. min/max/close) on the top right/left corner of title/menu bar. If btnWidget is set to None, buttons' style are automatically set to your platform/OS friendly style. Basically you can give btnWidget to your customized buttons(pyqt-titlebar-buttons-widget). I will explain it better. Sorry for weak explanation.

• setButtonHint(hint) to set hints of buttons. There are three options available(close, min/close, min/max/close). Default value is min/max/close.

• setMenuTitle(self, title: str = '', icon_filename: str = '', font: QFont = QFont('Arial', 9)) to set the icon and title not only on the left side of menu bar, but also set it as window icon and title.

Note: using this function, macOS button will be positioned to right which is unorthodox.

• Frame's color synchronizes with the QMenuBar's background color or inner QWidget's color if inner widget is not QMainWindow.

• getCornerWidget() to get corner widget of QMenuBar easily

• getInnerWidget() to get inner widget easily

Example

Code Sample (Menu bar only)

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication

from pyqt_custom_titlebar_window import CustomTitlebarWindow

from pyqt_dark_calculator import Calculator



if __name__ == "__main__":

  import sys



  app = QApplication(sys.argv)

  customTitlebarWindow = CustomTitlebarWindow(Calculator())

  customTitlebarWindow.setMenuTitle(icon_filename='calculator.svg')

  # customTitlebarWindow.setButtonHint(hint=['close'])

  customTitlebarWindow.setButtons()

  customTitlebarWindow.show()

  app.exec_()

In the code sample, pyqt-dark-calculator is being used as inner widget.

Result

Here's another example with pyqt-dark-notepad.

As you see, existing corner widget doesn't matter.

Code Sample (Including title bar)

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication

from pyqt_custom_titlebar_window import CustomTitlebarWindow

from pyqt_dark_notepad import DarkNotepad



if __name__ == "__main__":

  import sys



  app = QApplication(sys.argv)

  window = DarkNotepad()

  customTitlebarWindow = CustomTitlebarWindow(window)

  customTitlebarWindow.setTopTitleBar(icon_filename='dark-notepad.svg')

  # customTitlebarWindow.setButtonHint(['close'])

  customTitlebarWindow.setButtons()

  customTitlebarWindow.show()

  app.exec_()
