Usage

To use the frameless window, you only need to inherit FramelessWindow or FramelessMainWindow. Here is a minimal example:

import sys

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication
from qframelesswindow import FramelessWindow


class Window(FramelessWindow):

    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super().__init__(parent=parent)
        self.setWindowTitle("PyQt-Frameless-Window")
        self.titleBar.raise_()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    demo = Window()
    demo.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

For more complex requirements, see demo.py and main_window.py.

Examples

  • Normal frameless window Normal Frameless Window

Notes

  1. FramelessWindow provides a default custom title bar. If you don't like it, just rewrite it as demo.py does.

  2. Moving the acrylic window on Win10 may get stuck. At present, there is no good solution. Maybe you can disable the acrylic effect when moving the window, but I haven't done this in the source code.

  3. Snap layout is not enabled by default. See #56 to learn how to enable it.

  4. If you encounter this problem on Windows:

    ImportError: DLL load failed while importing win32api

    see my answer on stackoverflow or my blog for the solution.

  5. If you are using PySide2, PySide6 or PyQt6, you can download the code in PySide2, PySide6 or PyQt6 branch.
