This article has a nice explanation of how this is done in UWP: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/design/shell/title-bar The underlying APIs that enable this aren’t yet exposed in RN4W. This feature request would likely mean creating a native module that wraps the UWP functionality. Some thought would have to go into how to expose it as there are a number of things involved (extending the CoreWindow into the title-bar area is required, and this has implications on the programming model).

Seems like a request for a Windows-specific native module. May be able to model similar to the StatusBar module. Certainly the immediate workaround is to just do this in native XAML, although that creates a split in the development model.

has there been any progress? I managed to find an example of how to do it in C++/winrt and in C#, but I'm still not experienced enough in desktop programming to be able to abstract the code to create a native module.
