        Row(
            [
                WindowDragArea(

                        bgcolor="yellow",
                        padding=10,
                    ),
                    expand=1,
                ),
                IconButton(icon=icons.CLOSE, on_click=lambda _: page.window_close()),
            ]
        )
    )

Hot reload

For hot-reload run your Python program with flet command line:

usage: flet [-h] [--port PORT] [--directory] [--recursive] [--hidden] [--web] script

Runs Flet app in Python with hot reload.

positional arguments:
  script                path to a Python script

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --port PORT, -p PORT  custom TCP port to run Flet app on
  --directory, -d       watch script directory
  --recursive, -r       watch script directory and all sub-directories recursively       
  --hidden, -n          application window is hidden on startup
