* `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`.

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/window-customization.md#create-transparent-windows).
Default is `false`. On Windows, does not work unless the window is frameless.
* `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) _macOS_ _Windows_ - 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, 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_ - Only on 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_ - Only on 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.
* `trafficLightPosition` [Point](point.md) (optional) _macOS_ -
Set a custom position for the traffic light buttons in frameless windows.
* `roundedCorners` boolean (optional) _macOS_ - Whether frameless window
should have rounded corners on macOS. Default is `true`. Setting this property
to `false` will prevent the window from being fullscreenable.
* `thickFrame` boolean (optional) - Use `WS_THICKFRAME` style for frameless windows on
Windows, which adds standard window frame. Setting it to `false` will remove
window shadow and window animations. 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
(`NSWindowStyleMaskTexturedBackground`).
* 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`.

* `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.
* `webPreferences` [WebPreferences](web-preferences.md?inline) (optional) - Settings of web page's features.
* `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_ - The CSS color of the Window Controls Overlay when enabled. Default is the system color.
* `symbolColor` String (optional) _Windows_ - The CSS color of the symbols on the Window Controls Overlay when enabled. Default is the system color.
* `height` Integer (optional) _macOS_ _Windows_ - The height of the title bar and Window Controls Overlay in pixels. Default is system height.
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
(`NSWindowStyleMaskTexturedBackground`).
* 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`.

## Class: View
> A basic native view.
Process: [Main](../glossary.md#main-process)
`View` is an [EventEmitter][event-emitter].
### `new View()`
Creates a new `View`.
### Instance Events
Objects created with `new View` emit the following events:
#### Event: 'bounds-changed'
Emitted when the view's bounds have changed in response to being laid out. The
new bounds can be retrieved with [`view.getBounds()`](#viewgetbounds).
### Instance Methods
Objects created with `new View` have the following instance methods:
#### `view.addChildView(view[, index])`
* `view` View - Child view to add.
* `index` Integer (optional) - Index at which to insert the child view.
Defaults to adding the child at the end of the child list.
#### `view.removeChildView(view)`
* `view` View - Child view to remove.
#### `view.setBounds(bounds)`
* `bounds` [Rectangle](structures/rectangle.md) - New bounds of the View.
#### `view.getBounds()`
Returns [`Rectangle`](structures/rectangle.md) - The bounds of this View, relative to its parent.
#### `view.setBackgroundColor(color)`
* `color` string - Color in Hex, RGB, ARGB, HSL, HSLA or named CSS color format. The alpha channel is
optional for the hex type.
Examples of valid `color` values:
* Hex
* `#fff` (RGB)
* `#ffff` (ARGB)
* `#ffffff` (RRGGBB)
* `#ffffffff` (AARRGGBB)
* RGB
* `rgb\(([\d]+),\s*([\d]+),\s*([\d]+)\)`
* e.g. `rgb(255, 255, 255)`
* RGBA
* `rgba\(([\d]+),\s*([\d]+),\s*([\d]+),\s*([\d.]+)\)`
* e.g. `rgba(255, 255, 255, 1.0)`
* HSL
* `hsl\((-?[\d.]+),\s*([\d.]+)%,\s*([\d.]+)%\)`
* e.g. `hsl(200, 20%, 50%)`
* HSLA
* `hsla\((-?[\d.]+),\s*([\d.]+)%,\s*([\d.]+)%,\s*([\d.]+)\)`
* e.g. `hsla(200, 20%, 50%, 0.5)`
* Color name
* Options are listed in [SkParseColor.cpp](https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:third_party/skia/src/utils/SkParseColor.cpp;l=11-152;drc=eea4bf52cb0d55e2a39c828b017c80a5ee054148)
* Similar to CSS Color Module Level 3 keywords, but case-sensitive.
* e.g. `blueviolet` or `red`
**Note:** Hex format with alpha takes `AARRGGBB` or `ARGB`, _not_ `RRGGBBAA` or `RGB`.
#### `view.setVisible(visible)`
* `visible` boolean - If false, the view will be hidden from display.
### Instance Properties
Objects created with `new View` have the following properties:
#### `view.children` _Readonly_
A `View[]` property representing the child views of this view.

### Behavior Changed: `BrowserView.setAutoResize` behavior on macOS
In Electron 29, BrowserView is now a wrapper around the new [WebContentsView](api/web-contents-view.md) API.
Previously, the `setAutoResize` function of the `BrowserView` API was backed by [autoresizing](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nsview/1483281-autoresizingmask?language=objc) on macOS, and by a custom algorithm on Windows and Linux.
For simple use cases such as making a BrowserView fill the entire window, the behavior of these two approaches was identical.
However, in more advanced cases, BrowserViews would be autoresized differently on macOS than they would be on other platforms, as the custom resizing algorithm for Windows and Linux did not perfectly match the behavior of macOS's autoresizing API.
The autoresizing behavior is now standardized across all platforms.
If your app uses `BrowserView.setAutoResize` to do anything more complex than making a BrowserView fill the entire window, it's likely you already had custom logic in place to handle this difference in behavior on macOS.
If so, that logic will no longer be needed in Electron 29 as autoresizing behavior is consistent.
