You are really passionate about Flutter and you have a strong desire to get Flutter desktop in Windows version off the ground. If we could find a natural way to connect to a SQL Server database this would be a great step forward! When I watched your video, then I subscribed so much your video makes Flutter Destop for Windows so much progress! I am sure that we will stay tuned to what you will be producing soon on this subject. Congratulations on this great video that drives Flutter for Windows! Sam

Awesome video! Subscribed! I was following the instructions and I got to the point where you hide the title bar and I got an error. I guess you changed the name of the folder to "bisdojo_window_windows" so the bitsdojo_window.h file couldn't be included. It'd be great if you could pin a comment to let people know about the change. Thanks! Great work!

[@parito5523]

Hey, pretty neat package! Just out of curiosity, does this call some system apis to generate the title bar and buttons, or are those custom-made ones by you designed to mimic the windows 10 design? In other words, if I bring this to windows 11 or other desktop OS for example, does the package makes the title bar and buttons look native to the OS in question or do it still have the windows 10 theme/design?

[@bitsdojo]

Hi there! The title bar and buttons are Flutter widgets so anyone can use Flutter to customize them just the way they like.

[@MaheshMV666]

Can we replace with custom icons? That would be really awesome
