Frameless window in native mode can not be minimized by clicking its taskbar button

Question

Hi, I found that in native mode, a borderless window cannot be minimized by clicking its Windows taskbar icon, and this issue can be easily replicated as below.

from nicegui import ui

ui.label('Frameless app running in native mode')
ui.run(native=True, frameless=True)

I also noticed that both Qt and pywebview exhibit the same problem, with Qt already having a solution in place. Thus, I wonder if NiceGUI and pywebview offer similar workarounds. After searching, I haven't come across anyone reporting this issue, so I'd appreciate any assistance on this matter. Many thanks in advance!

Hi @Aues6uen11Z,

Do I understand correctly that a simple pywebview app has the same problem? (I can't try it myself, since I don't have access to a Windows machine.)

import webview

webview.create_window('Hello world', 'https://pywebview.flowrl.com/', frameless=True)
webview.start()

If that's the case, I recommend filing an issue at https://github.com/r0x0r/pywebview.

Yes, a simple pywebview app has the same problem on Windows machine. What I originally intended to ask was whether NiceGUI has its own solution, given that it doesn't directly use pywebview, and there might be differences between them. But you're right, I should start by filing an issue to pywebview first. Thank you for your insight.😃

We are directly using pywebview. So this should be handled upstream.
