Macos Problem Overview

In macOS how can I create a window with an "integrated title bar and toolbar" in Xcode and/or Interface Builder?

This is the "fat title bar" type of window that was added to apps such as Safari and Calendar in OS X 10.10 Yosemite. Unified title bar and toolbar plus other gadgets.

Solution 1 - Macos

  1. Create a standard toolbar.

  2. When the window loads, set titleVisibility to hidden:

    // Objective-C
window.titleVisibility = NSWindowTitleHidden;

// Swift
window?.titleVisibility = .hidden

Solution 2 - Macos

As of Xcode 10, you can do this in your XIB or storyboard by turning on the “Hide Title” check box under the window's title in the window's Attributes Inspector.

Note also that you should use the “Textured Rounded” style for toolbar buttons.

Solution 3 - Macos

In your window controller's windowDidLoad():

window?.titleVisibility = .hidden
