Window buttons hide them?

[dg3duy]

my question is if it is possible to hide the title and the minimize and maximize buttons... I only need the close window button and to be able to move it to any place on the screen by moving it.
Any example you can give me?

def showUI():
    myWin = cmds.window(title="Fit Timeline", widthHeight=(240, 48), tlb=False, mb=False)
    cmds.columnLayout(adjustableColumn=True)
    cmds.button(label="Select Keys", command=select_key_range)
    cmds.button(label="Restore Timeline", command=restore_timeline)
    cmds.showWindow(myWin)
showUI()

import maya.cmds as cmds

window = cmds.window(title="", widthHeight=(200, 200))
cmds.showWindow(window)
cmds.window(window, edit=True, menuBar=False, minimizeButton=False, maximizeButton=False)

a major breakthrough... now I just want to remove the title... any suggestions?

You can hide the titlebar with the "tb" flag. But the close window button is part of the title bar, so you will lose that as well if you don't have a titlebar. So there isn't really a way to do what you want with the Maya cmds library.

Maybe you could do something like this using an external library like pyqt5?

@Kahylan Using pyqt5 is already an esoteric word for me.😅
I don't know anything related to pyqt5, the question that comes to my mind is if I generate a window with pyqt5 another user needs something additional installed for it to work on his pc?

[Kahylan]

I'm not quite sure, but I think the user will need to have pyqt5 installed as well. But its a simple pip install that most users that use a lot of python plugins already have, so that shouldn't be to much of an issue.

If that is a problem for you, I'm afraid that you wont be able to do what you want in this post and will just have to accept an empty title bar.

if you're specifying  title="" and you're getting the name of the application instead of a blank titlebar, simply make the title a single space.
