This means that click to drag works, along with double clicking to maximize/restore, shaking to minimize other windows, etc. The CaptionHeight tells the OS to treat the top 32px of your window as if it was a title bar. Next, allocate space for your title bar in your UI. That will remove the built-in title bar and allow you to do everything on your own. Building the UIįirst, set WindowStyle=”None” on your Window. It’s one little thing you lose when going with a full custom title bar, but it should be worth it by allowing full cohesive theming. I am choosing not to attempt to match the style for old versions of Windows, as I don’t think that would be a great time investment.
This will keep my UI consistent with the rest of Windows. However the actual implementation is kind of tricky, since it is now your job to provide a bunch of features that you used to get for free. There are several good reasons for wanting custom window chrome in WPF, such as fitting in additional UI or implementing a Dark theme.
