A frameless window removes all chrome applied by the OS, including window controls.
To create a frameless window, set the BaseWindowContructorOptions frame param in the BrowserWindow constructor to false.
const { app, BrowserWindow } = require('electron')
function createWindow () {
const win = new BrowserWindow({
width: 300,
height: 200,
frame: false
})
win.loadURL('https://example.com')
}
app.whenReady().then(() => {
createWindow()
})
To create a fully transparent window, set the BaseWindowContructorOptions transparent param in the BrowserWindow constructor to true.
The following fiddle takes advantage of a transparent window and CSS styling to create the illusion of a circular window.
const { app, BrowserWindow } = require('electron')
function createWindow () {
const win = new BrowserWindow({
width: 100,
height: 100,
resizable: false,
frame: false,
transparent: true
})
win.loadFile('index.html')
}
app.whenReady().then(() => {
createWindow()
})

resizable to true may make a transparent window stop working on some platforms.blur() filter only applies to the window's web contents, so there is no way to apply blur effect to the content below the window (i.e. other applications open on the user's system).RetroSearch is an open source project built by @garambo | Open a GitHub Issue
