import PySimpleGUI as sg """ Demo showing how to remove the titlebar and replace with your own Unlike previous demos that lacked a titlebar, this one provides a way for you to "minimize" your window that does not have a titlebar. This is done by faking the window using a hidden window that is minimized. While this demo uses the button colors for the titlebar color, you can use anything you want. If possible it could be good to use combinations that are known to match like the input element colors or the button colors.
