Custom look on desktop app?

[Cifius]

Hello, I want to create a desktop app with a custom look without the standard title bar. Is this possible? Also, is it possible to update the application during a resize of the application’s window? Currently it looks quite ugly (with black squares) when you resize as the application is not redrawn until you release the mouse button.

Thanks in advance!

You can use <window borderless="true"/> in your project.xml file to hide the system chrome.

I don’t think that we’ve figured out a way yet to update rendering while the window is being resized.

Rendering isn’t updated when you use the OS window chrome to resize the window or move the window, however, if you create a custom window chrome and implement the resize and movement in the render loop(enter frame), it will not block rendering.
