How to completely hide the native title bar in Tauri?

[Bogoomi010]

Hi! I'm developing a Tauri app for macOS (tested on Big Sur) and using both Tauri v1 and v2.

I’m trying to completely hide the native title bar — not just the window buttons (close, minimize, fullscreen), but the entire gray title bar area on macOS.

What I’ve done so far:

• In tauri.conf.json, I successfully disabled the exit buttons using decorations: false
• However, the title bar area still remains visible, especially the gray strip on macOS
• I want a truly frameless window (like in Electron with frame: false) so I can build a fully custom title bar in HTML

My question:

Can this be done purely through Tauri's configuration or API, without needing native Swift/Cocoa code or custom plugins?

Thanks in advance!

This should be the answer. Are you also using titleBarStyle perhaps? If not, can you share the rest of your window config and the output of the tauri info command?

I'm configuring it like this.
I'm not specifying any styles separately.
I'm using tauri V1

"windows": [
      {
        "label": "root",
        "title": "MyProgram",
        "fullscreen": false,
        "resizable": false,
        "width": 940,
        "height": 690,
        "visible": false,
        "decorations": false,
        "transparent": true
      }     
    ]

hmm, nothing wrong with that i think. for completeness sake, could you also share the output of the tauri info command please?

I couldn't remove the title bar on macOS, so I resolved it by disabling the title bar's exit button while action A is in progress within the window. thank you.
