On Windows, the default title bar of an SDL app has always bothered me with its ugliness, so I decided to experiment with a custom one.
Here is a very early preview of what it might look like.
I like these too much to stop now, but my goodness there is a lot of behavior that one has to handle manually without a standard title bar. 😅
@jk looks pretty cool i think. i also find windows ui little ugly.
@strangebrew It's nice that Windows apps don't really have any consistent styling so one can do pretty much whatever with the window chrome and it doesn't look out of place. 😀
@jk yep you are right sir. but in xp times windows is much more suitable for customization. there are lots of great themes i remember 🙂
@jk i like old windows design more than new ones. but mac developed very well. new mac's are very beautiful. it's just my opinion
@jk A lot better than the original one already.
Getting closer to a final design.
It's impossible to replicate native behavior exactly while working behind SDL APIs, but I'm pretty happy with how it's working now.
Still need to add a toggle in Preferences to disable the custom frame.
