Examples for all the supported libraries are given here, just adding one line of code can take your application to the next level! 🔥

Tkinter

import tkinter
import pywinstyles

root = tkinter.Tk()

pywinstyles.change_header_color(root, color="blue")

root.mainloop()

CustomTkinter

import customtkinter
import pywinstyles

root = customtkinter.CTk()

pywinstyles.change_header_color(root, color="blue")

root.mainloop()

PyGame

import pygame
import pywinstyles

screen = pygame.display.set_mode((300, 200))

hwnd = pygame.display.get_wm_info()["window"]
pywinstyles.change_header_color(hwnd, color="blue")

pygame.display.flip()
running = True

while running:
  for event in pygame.event.get():
    if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
      running = False

PyQt

import sys
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets
import pywinstyles

app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
window = QtWidgets.QWidget()

pywinstyles.change_header_color(window, color="blue")

window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())

PySide

from PySide2.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget
import sys
import pywinstyles

app = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = QWidget()

pywinstyles.change_header_color(window, color="blue")

window.show()
app.exec_()

WxPython

import wx
import pywinstyles

app = wx.App()

frame = wx.Frame(parent=None, title='wx-python')

pywinstyles.change_header_color(frame, color="blue")

frame.Show()
app.MainLoop()

PySimpleGUI

import PySimpleGUI as sg
import pywinstyles

layout = [[sg.Text("pywinstyles example")], [sg.Button("OK")]]

window = sg.Window("Demo", layout, finalize=True) # finalize the window

pywinstyles.change_header_color(window.TKroot, color="blue")
    
while True:    
    event, values = window.read()
    if event == "OK" or event == sg.WIN_CLOSED:
        break

window.close()

Other UI Libraries

Any other python UI libraries, like kivy, are also supported. You just have to retrieve the HWND (window handle) of the window and pass it to pywinstyles. Commonly used libraries are supported by default as shown above, so you don't have to do this extra work for them.

from ctypes import windll
import pywinstyles
...
# use this method for any other libraries
hwnd = windll.user32.GetActiveWindow()
# alternate method to find the window by name:
# hwnd = windll.user32.FindWindowW(None, window_name)

pywinstyles.change_header_color(hwnd, color="blue")

Note: If you are applying themes like acrylic, then paint your UI window with black color using suitable methods.
