FAQPage Schema
How do I create a custom titlebar with a drag region in Tauri v2?

To create a custom titlebar in Tauri v2, configure undecorated windows in tauri.conf.json and implement a draggable region using the runtime window API. This provides custom window controls while maintaining native drag behavior across platforms.

Can I build transparent window decorations for Tauri apps on macOS?

Yes, you can enable transparent window decorations for Tauri apps on macOS. By adjusting build-time configuration and runtime window properties, you can achieve immersive, aesthetic UIs tailored for macOS and other systems.

What is the best way to add cross-platform window menus in a Tauri app?

The best way to add cross-platform window menus in Tauri is by constructing them using both JavaScript/TypeScript and backend Rust. This approach assembles cross-platform menus and keyboard shortcuts while handling OS-specific nuances.

Does Tauri v2 support runtime manipulation of window properties?

Yes, Tauri v2 supports runtime manipulation of window properties through its runtime window API and backend Rust window structs. This allows dynamic adjustments to window behavior after the initial build-time configuration is applied.

Why does my custom titlebar drag region not work across different operating systems?

Custom titlebar drag regions may behave inconsistently due to Windows, macOS, and Linux nuances. Standardizing your implementation with cross-platform guidance and sample snippets ensures the drag region works reliably across systems.
