    Hi,
    We are developing a desktop application for windows in Qt and we want to set a color to window title bar. If window title bar color is OS specific, can anyone guide us with native windows API to change color of windows title bar.

    Thanks
    Tirupathi

      Hi,

      That's a question better asked on Microsoft's forum.

      A quick search returns the SetSysColors method which is likely what you are looking for.

      Hope it helps.

        Hi
        Title bar is drawn by windows and you cannot change it from Qt.

        However, you can do it natively
