Title bar color problem

Foxiou

Hi everyone,

I have a big issue, i'm trying to create a dark mode for my application. But it seems like my Qt title bar doesn't take the theme of my Windows 10.
Do you know what can I do to have dark mode too in my Qt widget.

Qt titlebar:

Windows titlebar:

Thank you in advance.

Hi
Do you mean the app dark mode in windows?

Does a real app like notepad has dark title too ?

For me (win ver) its only the modern apps that follow this and not
"real" applications like QWidget based one is.

Notepad have white titlebar too. Some applications had dark one and others have white titlebar. Strange :p

Hi
Ok. I was wondering if your Windows was newer than mine and it would also color
Desktop app's titles, but seems its like normal.
So the Dark mode is only for those mini apps, not desktop programs.

So your Qt app would have to be a UWP app to get a dark title.
