# Custom Window Styles
|
||
|
||
## Frameless windows
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
A frameless window removes all [chrome][] applied by the OS, including window controls.
|
||
|
||
To create a frameless window, set the [`BaseWindowContructorOptions`][] `frame` param in the `BrowserWindow` constructor to `false`.
|
||
|
||
```fiddle docs/fiddles/features/window-customization/custom-window-styles/frameless-windows
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Transparent windows
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
To create a fully transparent window, set the [`BaseWindowContructorOptions`][] `transparent` param in the `BrowserWindow` constructor to `true`.
|
||
|
||
The following fiddle takes advantage of a tranparent window and CSS styling to create
|
||
the illusion of a circular window.
|
||
|
||
```fiddle docs/fiddles/features/window-customization/custom-window-styles/transparent-windows
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Limitations
|
||
|
||
* You cannot click through the transparent area. See
|
||
[#1335](https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/1335) for details.
|
||
* Transparent windows are not resizable. Setting `resizable` to `true` may make
|
||
a transparent window stop working on some platforms.
|
||
* The CSS [`blur()`][] filter only applies to the window's web contents, so there is
|
||
no way to apply blur effect to the content below the window (i.e. other applications
|
||
open on the user's system).
|
||
* The window will not be transparent when DevTools is opened.
|
||
* On _Windows_:
|
||
* Transparent windows will not work when DWM is disabled.
|
||
* Transparent windows can not be maximized using the Windows system menu or by double
|
||
clicking the title bar. The reasoning behind this can be seen on
|
||
PR [#28207](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/28207).
|
||
* On _macOS_:
|
||
* The native window shadow will not be shown on a transparent window.
