Building a custom app title bar with WinUI3 – alexs coding playground

▤ Summary

While I was working on a new project’s UI style, I wanted to have it using a custom title bar. I followed the description on https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/develop/title-bar?tabs=wasdk, but came up with an unwanted coloring of the title bar. In the end, the guide was correct, but did not show the correct setting for transparency in the code samples. This app demonstrates the necessary steps to activate the custom title bar with the desired coloring and also the necessary adjustments for using the NavigationView back button in the app title bar. You can find a the code sample on here: https://github.com/alexbeug/apptitlebar_sample
