Tabs in titlebar (like Google Chrome)

**akiross** · 24th January 2010, 18:54

Hello,
I'm wondering: is it possible with Qt to have a window titlebar which can contain tabs, just like Google Chrome does?
Google chrome also doesn't use a default decoration, how is it made? I know that on Linux Chrome uses GTK, but what about Qt?

Thanks!

Chrome just looks like a fancy tab widget.
Just think of a window without title bar and colored tab widget

Right. Sorry but I found out about QSplashScreen after posting :S

Shall I use a QSplashScreen for having a window without title bar or is it sufficient to use FramelessWindowHint as window flag?

When I'll have time, I'll try to implement this fancy tab widget

I'm just gathering ideas for now.

Thanks!

QSplashScreen is for startup screens. It is like a pop up window.
You can have frameless hint with a QWidget.

But, how about resize window with FramelessWindowHint ??

you have to re-implement the mouseMoveEvents (with Press and release combination) and move/resize the windows. This is the single significant reason not to do it. It involves complex coding and what we gain is re-invent the wheel, which is already provided by your OS.
