Ability to create a borderless window

[soluty]

the NewWindow api cant create no titlebar window, if i want to do this, i must change sourcecode and add code like this in function glDriver.CreateWindow, it is not a good choice, but i cant find any windowSetting can solve this.
some awesome tool like alfred have no window titlebar

glfw.WindowHint(glfw.Resizable, 0)
glfw.WindowHint(glfw.Decorated, 0)

You are right this is not currently possible. A simple “borderless window” may be due to many different types of windows - such as a splash screen or an overlay etc. What type of window were you trying to create so we can add the appropriate api?

Many other toolkits provide certain functionality to match intent rather than fine control like turning off borders. I’d just like to try and match the api simplicity as we have done in other areas.

Probably relates to #204

thanks, currently i try to make a simple tool like alfred in macos. becouse now i use windows in company and macbook in home, and i cant find a cross platform tool like alfred can save my time. cerebron is a cross platform tool, it made by electron but need too much memory. so i tryed to make similar one written by go, fyne is a crossplatform ui lib i choose ,and robotgo is the crossplatform systemmanager i choose。
by the way， shoold window interface need a function named Toggle() or Visibily(), currently i must hold the visible state in my code and i think this is not a good idea.

Thanks. Your question about Toggle() (or, I prefer Visible()) is a good one - but I don't know that toggling window visibility is a common enough case to add it to the main API. Usually you set a window to be visible until it is no longer needed when it's hidden. Then some user action shows it again.

Can you explain why toggling is needed for your flow?

[soluty]

for a laucher app, the ability to quick hide and show is need. and they are invoke by same keycode. so need know the window current visible state

But it will not be a Fyne window that is listening for the keyboard to show the window will it? The combination will be tied to your desktop configuration or something? Once the Fyne window is visible it can then make itself hidden, but once gone it cannot reappear from the keyboard combination.
Or am I missing something? What will launch the window?

I have changed the title to be a feature request for the borderless window. We will probably need to expose this somehow as a desktop extension. I can't yet decide if we should do it by class (splash, dialog etc) or if we should expose the "raw" API to turn this off. Will think some more.

I haven't heard from the question about toggling windows so will not follow up on the Window.Toggle() request as I don't think it fits the model.

This is probably needed for #395 as well - we will need to have a canvas shown without window borders.

Need this feature and transparent backgroud.
