Window Customization | Electron

The BrowserWindow module is the foundation of your Electron application, and it exposes many APIs that let you customize the look and behavior of your app’s windows. This section covers how to implement various use cases for window customization on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
BrowserWindow is a subclass of the BaseWindow module. Both modules allow you to create and manage application windows in Electron, with the main difference being that BrowserWindow supports a single, full size web view while BaseWindow supports composing many web views. BaseWindow can be used interchangeably with BrowserWindow in the examples of the documents in this section.
Application windows have a default chrome applied by the OS. Not to be confused with the Google Chrome browser, window _chrome_ refers to the parts of the window (e.g. title bar, toolbars, controls) that are not a part of the main web content. While the default title bar provided by the OS chrome is sufficient for simple use cases, many applications opt to remove it. Implementing a custom title bar can help your application feel more modern and consistent across platforms.
By default, windows are dragged using the title bar provided by the OS chrome. Apps that remove the default title bar need to use the app-region CSS property to define specific areas that can be used to drag the window. Setting app-region: drag marks a rectangular area as draggable.
