[docs] Improve window customization guide

[cangSDARM]

Maybe this should be used as a feat? idk

Describe the bug

https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/blob/45d427e44c0e06194079426c2690019643e03277/core/tauri/scripts/core.js#L136

here is my dom hierarchy:

import React from "react";
import classes from "./index.module.scss";
import clsx from "clsx";
import { Icon } from "@rsuite/icons";
import {
  VscChromeClose,
  VscChromeMinimize,
  VscChromeMaximize,
  VscChromeRestore,
} from "react-icons/vsc";
import { appWindow } from "@tauri-apps/api/window";
import { IoLogoChrome } from "react-icons/io5";

const AppBar: React.FC = () => {
  const [isMaxsize, setIsMaxsize] = React.useState(false);

  React.useEffect(() => {
    appWindow.isMaximized().then(setIsMaxsize);
  }, []);

  return (
    <div className={classes.titlebar}>
      <div data-tauri-drag-region className={classes["drag-region"]}>
        <div>
          <Icon as={IoLogoChrome} />
          <span>{appWindow.label}</span>
        </div>
        <div className={classes["window-controls"]}>
          <div
            className={classes.button}
            onClick={() => {
              appWindow.minimize();
            }}
          >
            <Icon as={VscChromeMinimize} />
          </div>
          <div
            className={classes.button}
            onClick={() => {
              appWindow
                .toggleMaximize()
                .then(() => appWindow.isMaximized())
                .then(setIsMaxsize);
            }}
          >
            <Icon as={isMaxsize ? VscChromeRestore : VscChromeMaximize} />
          </div>
          <div
            className={clsx(classes.button, classes["close-button"])}
            onClick={() => {
              appWindow.close();
            }}
          >
            <Icon as={VscChromeClose} />
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  );
};

export default AppBar;

It renders like this:

I can't properly trigger the window's drag unless I add data-tauri-drag-region to every element.

Perhapes

Customize an event and allow tauri users to bind it themselves

A less elegant solution from before

https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/pull/3031

Customize an event and allow tauri users to bind it themselves may better

[FabianLars]

See here for the reasons why we can't change it: https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/pull/3031. So yes you need to add the attribute to the actual click target (which generally should be the innermost element)

Edit: Unlucky timing 😂

I saw. So I suggest using a custom event to let the user bind himself

[FabianLars]

You can already do that by using startDragging yourself.

It would be better to implement in tauri to avoid other potential bugs. Or give a hint in the documentation? 😂

[amrbashir]

It is documented here https://tauri.studio/docs/api/js/classes/window.WindowManager#startdragging

[cangSDARM]

I mean here: https://tauri.studio/docs/guides/window-customization

[amrbashir]

Yeah that guide needs to highlight data-tauri-drag-region more and also include a manual implementation of it using window.startDragging and mousedown event.

Suggestion noted

[Uninen]

Not sure if this should be different issue or no but the search on the documentation site doesn't find anything with "drag", "dragging", or "data-tauri-drag-region" even though the string data-tauri-drag-region clearly is on this page: https://tauri.app/v1/guides/features/window-customization/

Is there something I could do to help improving the docs (or the search)?

[FabianLars]

The search is currently not nearly as optimized enough and basically only picks up headers right now :/ And code blocks will probably never be indexed, not sure

Is there something I could do to help improving the docs (or the search)?

We always appreciate PRs adding or rewriting guides, or improving the api docs. We know that all that is far from perfect.

The search itself is a spicy topic and still needs a lot of work :/

We'll be making a new recipe on the topic for 2.0 that hopefully addresses this, with best practises for the various platforms. Tracking this for 2.0.
