# BaseWindowConstructorOptions Object

* `width` Integer (optional) - Window's width in pixels. Default is `800`.
* `height` Integer (optional) - Window's height in pixels. Default is `600`.
* `x` Integer (optional) - (**required** if y is used) Window's left offset from screen.
  Default is to center the window.
* `y` Integer (optional) - (**required** if x is used) Window's top offset from screen.
  Default is to center the window.
* `useContentSize` boolean (optional) - The `width` and `height` would be used as web
  page's size, which means the actual window's size will include window
  frame's size and be slightly larger. Default is `false`.
* `center` boolean (optional) - Show window in the center of the screen. Default is `false`.
* `minWidth` Integer (optional) - Window's minimum width. Default is `0`.
* `minHeight` Integer (optional) - Window's minimum height. Default is `0`.
* `maxWidth` Integer (optional) - Window's maximum width. Default is no limit.
* `maxHeight` Integer (optional) - Window's maximum height. Default is no limit.
* `resizable` boolean (optional) - Whether window is resizable. Default is `true`.
* `movable` boolean (optional) _macOS_ _Windows_ - Whether window is
  movable. This is not implemented on Linux. Default is `true`.
* `minimizable` boolean (optional) _macOS_ _Windows_ - Whether window is
  minimizable. This is not implemented on Linux. Default is `true`.

  maximizable. This is not implemented on Linux. Default is `true`.
* `closable` boolean (optional) _macOS_ _Windows_ - Whether window is
  closable. This is not implemented on Linux. Default is `true`.
* `focusable` boolean (optional) - Whether the window can be focused. Default is
  `true`. On Windows setting `focusable: false` also implies setting
  `skipTaskbar: true`. On Linux setting `focusable: false` makes the window
  stop interacting with wm, so the window will always stay on top in all
  workspaces.
* `alwaysOnTop` boolean (optional) - Whether the window should always stay on top of
  other windows. Default is `false`.
* `fullscreen` boolean (optional) - Whether the window should show in fullscreen. When
  explicitly set to `false` the fullscreen button will be hidden or disabled
  on macOS. Default is `false`.
* `fullscreenable` boolean (optional) - Whether the window can be put into fullscreen
  mode. On macOS, also whether the maximize/zoom button should toggle full
  screen mode or maximize window. Default is `true`.
* `simpleFullscreen` boolean (optional) _macOS_ - Use pre-Lion fullscreen on
  macOS. Default is `false`.
* `skipTaskbar` boolean (optional) _macOS_ _Windows_ - Whether to show the window in taskbar.

* `kiosk` boolean (optional) - Whether the window is in kiosk mode. Default is `false`.
* `title` string (optional) - Default window title. Default is `"Electron"`. If the HTML tag `<title>` is defined in the HTML file loaded by `loadURL()`, this property will be ignored.
* `icon` ([NativeImage](../native-image.md) | string) (optional) - The window icon. On Windows it is
  recommended to use `ICO` icons to get best visual effects, you can also
  leave it undefined so the executable's icon will be used.
* `show` boolean (optional) - Whether window should be shown when created. Default is
  `true`.
* `frame` boolean (optional) - Specify `false` to create a
  [frameless window](../../tutorial/custom-window-styles.md#frameless-windows). Default is `true`.
* `parent` BaseWindow (optional) - Specify parent window. Default is `null`.
* `modal` boolean (optional) - Whether this is a modal window. This only works when the
  window is a child window. Default is `false`.
* `acceptFirstMouse` boolean (optional) _macOS_ - Whether clicking an
  inactive window will also click through to the web contents. Default is
  `false` on macOS. This option is not configurable on other platforms.
* `disableAutoHideCursor` boolean (optional) - Whether to hide cursor when typing.
  Default is `false`.
* `autoHideMenuBar` boolean (optional) _Linux_ _Windows_ - Auto hide the menu bar
  unless the `Alt` key is pressed. Default is `false`.
* `enableLargerThanScreen` boolean (optional) _macOS_ - Enable the window to
  be resized larger than screen. Only relevant for macOS, as other OSes
  allow larger-than-screen windows by default. Default is `false`.
* `backgroundColor` string (optional) - The window's background color in Hex, RGB, RGBA, HSL, HSLA or named CSS color format. Alpha in #AARRGGBB format is supported if `transparent` is set to `true`. Default is `#FFF` (white). See [win.setBackgroundColor](../browser-window.md#winsetbackgroundcolorbackgroundcolor) for more information.
* `hasShadow` boolean (optional) - Whether window should have a shadow. Default is `true`.
* `opacity` number (optional) _macOS_ _Windows_ - Set the initial opacity of
  the window, between 0.0 (fully transparent) and 1.0 (fully opaque). This
  is only implemented on Windows and macOS.
* `darkTheme` boolean (optional) - Forces using dark theme for the window, only works on
  some GTK+3 desktop environments. Default is `false`.
* `transparent` boolean (optional) - Makes the window [transparent](../../tutorial/custom-window-styles.md#transparent-windows).
  Default is `false`. On Windows, does not work unless the window is frameless.
  When you add a [`View`](../view.md) to a `BaseWindow`, you'll need to call
  [`view.setBackgroundColor`](../view.md#viewsetbackgroundcolorcolor) with a transparent
  background color on that view to make its background transparent as well.
* `type` string (optional) - The type of window, default is normal window. See more about
  this below.
* `visualEffectState` string (optional) _macOS_ - Specify how the material
  appearance should reflect window activity state on macOS. Must be used
  with the `vibrancy` property. Possible values are:
  * `followWindow` - The backdrop should automatically appear active when the window is active, and inactive when it is not. This is the default.
  * `active` - The backdrop should always appear active.
  * `inactive` - The backdrop should always appear inactive.
* `titleBarStyle` string (optional) - The style of window title bar.
  Default is `default`. Possible values are:
  * `default` - Results in the standard title bar for macOS or Windows respectively.
  * `hidden` - Results in a hidden title bar and a full size content window. On macOS, the window still has the standard window controls (“traffic lights”) in the top left. On Windows and Linux, when combined with `titleBarOverlay: true` it will activate the Window Controls Overlay (see `titleBarOverlay` for more information), otherwise no window controls will be shown.
  * `hiddenInset` _macOS_ - Results in a hidden title bar
    with an alternative look where the traffic light buttons are slightly
    more inset from the window edge.
  * `customButtonsOnHover` _macOS_ - Results in a hidden
    title bar and a full size content window, the traffic light buttons will
    display when being hovered over in the top left of the window.
    **Note:** This option is currently experimental.
* `titleBarOverlay` Object | Boolean (optional) -  When using a frameless window in conjunction with `win.setWindowButtonVisibility(true)` on macOS or using a `titleBarStyle` so that the standard window controls ("traffic lights" on macOS) are visible, this property enables the Window Controls Overlay [JavaScript APIs][overlay-javascript-apis] and [CSS Environment Variables][overlay-css-env-vars]. Specifying `true` will result in an overlay with default system colors. Default is `false`.
  * `color` String (optional) _Windows_ _Linux_ - The CSS color of the Window Controls Overlay when enabled. Default is the system color.
  * `symbolColor` String (optional) _Windows_ _Linux_ - The CSS color of the symbols on the Window Controls Overlay when enabled. Default is the system color.
  * `height` Integer (optional) - The height of the title bar and Window Controls Overlay in pixels. Default is system height.
* `accentColor` boolean | string (optional) _Windows_ - The accent color for the window. By default, follows user preference in System Settings. Set to `false` to explicitly disable, or set the color in Hex, RGB, RGBA, HSL, HSLA or named CSS color format. Alpha values will be ignored.
* `trafficLightPosition` [Point](point.md) (optional) _macOS_ -
  Set a custom position for the traffic light buttons in frameless windows.
* `roundedCorners` boolean (optional) _macOS_ _Windows_ - Whether frameless window
  should have rounded corners. Default is `true`. Setting this property
  to `false` will prevent the window from being fullscreenable on macOS.
  On Windows versions older than Windows 11 Build 22000 this property has no effect, and frameless windows will not have rounded corners.
* `thickFrame` boolean (optional) _Windows_ - Use `WS_THICKFRAME` style for
  frameless windows on Windows, which adds the standard window frame. Setting it
  to `false` will remove window shadow and window animations, and disable window
  resizing via dragging the window edges. Default is `true`.
* `vibrancy` string (optional) _macOS_ - Add a type of vibrancy effect to
  the window, only on macOS. Can be `appearance-based`, `titlebar`, `selection`,
  `menu`, `popover`, `sidebar`, `header`, `sheet`, `window`, `hud`, `fullscreen-ui`,
  `tooltip`, `content`, `under-window`, or `under-page`.
* `backgroundMaterial` string (optional) _Windows_ - Set the window's
  system-drawn background material, including behind the non-client area.
  Can be `auto`, `none`, `mica`, `acrylic` or `tabbed`. See [win.setBackgroundMaterial](../browser-window.md#winsetbackgroundmaterialmaterial-windows) for more information.
* `zoomToPageWidth` boolean (optional) _macOS_ - Controls the behavior on
  macOS when option-clicking the green stoplight button on the toolbar or by
  clicking the Window > Zoom menu item. If `true`, the window will grow to
  the preferred width of the web page when zoomed, `false` will cause it to
  zoom to the width of the screen. This will also affect the behavior when
  calling `maximize()` directly. Default is `false`.
* `tabbingIdentifier` string (optional) _macOS_ - Tab group name, allows
  opening the window as a native tab. Windows with the same
  tabbing identifier will be grouped together. This also adds a native new
  tab button to your window's tab bar and allows your `app` and window to
  receive the `new-window-for-tab` event.

When setting minimum or maximum window size with `minWidth`/`maxWidth`/
`minHeight`/`maxHeight`, it only constrains the users. It won't prevent you from
passing a size that does not follow size constraints to `setBounds`/`setSize` or
to the constructor of `BrowserWindow`.

The possible values and behaviors of the `type` option are platform dependent.
Possible values are:

* On Linux, possible types are `desktop`, `dock`, `toolbar`, `splash`,
  `notification`.
  * The `desktop` type places the window at the desktop background window level
    (kCGDesktopWindowLevel - 1). However, note that a desktop window will not
    receive focus, keyboard, or mouse events. You can still use globalShortcut to
    receive input sparingly.
  * The `dock` type creates a dock-like window behavior.
  * The `toolbar` type creates a window with a toolbar appearance.
  * The `splash` type behaves in a specific way. It is not
    draggable, even if the CSS styling of the window's body contains
    -webkit-app-region: drag. This type is commonly used for splash screens.
  * The `notification` type creates a window that behaves like a system notification.
* On macOS, possible types are `desktop`, `textured`, `panel`.
  * The `textured` type adds metal gradient appearance. This option is **deprecated**.
  * The `desktop` type places the window at the desktop background window level
    (`kCGDesktopWindowLevel - 1`). Note that desktop window will not receive
    focus, keyboard or mouse events, but you can use `globalShortcut` to receive
    input sparingly.
  * The `panel` type enables the window to float on top of full-screened apps
    by adding the `NSWindowStyleMaskNonactivatingPanel` style mask, normally
    reserved for NSPanel, at runtime. Also, the window will appear on all
    spaces (desktops).
* On Windows, possible type is `toolbar`.
