customizing-tauri-windows

Set decorations to false in tauri.conf.json, add a titlebar div with the data-tauri-drag-region attribute, and wire minimize, maximize, and close buttons using getCurrentWindow from @tauri-apps/api/window. You must also grant window permissions like core:window:allow-start-dragging in your capability file.

Use Submenu and MenuItem from @tauri-apps/api/menu in JavaScript, or MenuBuilder and SubmenuBuilder in Rust, then call setAsAppMenu or app.set_menu. Shortcuts are declared with accelerator strings like CmdOrCtrl+S, and events are handled via on_menu_event in Rust.

The data-tauri-drag-region attribute applies only to the element it is set on, not its children. This preserves button interactivity, so add the attribute to each child element you want draggable, or use startDragging manually on mousedown.

Yes, fully custom titlebars on macOS lose native behaviors like window snapping. Using TitleBarStyle::Transparent with the cocoa crate to set the NSWindow background color preserves these native features while still allowing custom styling.

Yes. In JavaScript, retrieve an item with menu.get('id') and call setText; in Rust, use menu.get("id") with as_menuitem_unchecked().set_text(). This works for updating labels such as status indicators after the menu is created.
