I'm having a bit of an issue creating a custom window with the
following requirements:
1. Customized window control buttons
a. I want to keep the 'X' button to close the window,but I do not
want the minimize or maximize buttons shown
b. In addition, I then need to add my own custom button(s)
2. The window should retain the normal window shadow effect
Two satisfy requirement #1a, I first tried:
setWindowFlags(Qt::CustomizeWindowHint |
Qt::WindowCloseButtonHint);
That seems to get rid of the minimize & maximumize buttons,
but I don't see any way to then add my own customized button
to the left of the close ('x') button. Please correct me if I'm wrong
on that count, since if there's a way to add custom buttons to
that bar, I'd probably be all set, and everything I'm about to say
below goes away.
Assuming there isn't a way of adding a custom button, I then
went down a path of using:
- setWindowFlags(Qt::FramelessWindowHint | Qt::CustomizeWindowHint);
- create my own fake title bar widget and adding my own
custom buttons that, one of which looks like the standard close button
The issue with this is that by setting Qt::FramelessWindowHint, the
window shadow disappears.
So then I tried removing the Qt::FramelessWindowHint flag.
This brings back the window shadow, but it also adds a small white band
above my button bar widget.
You can see what I'm talking about here:
https://imagebin.ca/v/4s4QprMkIsvD. The left side of that image
shows what my window looks like with the Qt::FramelessWindowHint
enabled. It shows there is no drop shadow (which is bad), but also
no excess whitespace above my fake title bar (which is good). The right
side of the image shows the result without setting the Qt::FramelessWindowHint
flag. In that instance, the drop shadow is present (good), but I've suddenly got
excess whitespace above my fake title bar (bad). It appears the
whitespace is about 6 pixels high.
What I want is a combination of both - no excessive whitespace,
but with the drop shadow. Is there some way to get rid of that
excess whitespace?
