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

Dark Window Bar server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.7). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Dark Window Bar compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge?

Dark Window Bar officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.7, 1.21.5, 1.21.4. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Dark Window Bar – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Dark Window Bar consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
