About this Mod

banner

Dark Window Bar is a simple mod that automatically makes the title bar for Minecraft dark on Windows.

The mod will detect if you're running Windows in dark mode, and if you are, the window will be styled on launch to match the operating system:

Due to using Windows-specific APIs for setting window attributes, this mod will only work on Windows 10 and Windows 11. The mod will disable itself when running on other operating systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Dark Window Bar need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks Dark Window Bar as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.

Which version and loader does Dark Window Bar require?

Use a file for fabric, forge, neoforge and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 1.21.7, 1.21.5, 1.21.4. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

Dark Window Bar is not working – what should I check?

First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
