Hello,

Is it possible to customize the frame decoration (color, position of the close button...) of a window, no matter the underlying OS?

I didn't see such a feature but not sure.

Thanks!

I believe you can make a frameless window and draw all of it yourself. On 9 Jun 2015 5:14 am, wrote:

We can I start drawing the borders, i mean should I create one global frame (the decoration) and put everything I need inside, in a smaller sub window to mimic the decoration & the content ?
It will force me to manage myself one more level, right ?

You can draw everything in a single borderless window, then use
https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL_SetWindowHitTest so your custom drawn
borders can resize, move, close the window e.t.c.

I don't think you can do sub-windows with only SDL.
