Dark Title Bar For Minecraft
Dark Title Bar For Minecraft changes the window title bar of the game to a dark style on Windows, for players who want the window to match a dark desktop theme.
What it does
The client-side Fabric mod draws the Minecraft window with a dark title bar instead of the default light one. It needs Fabric API, and Mod Menu and OneConfig are optional companions. Because the change is limited to the client, only the player's installation needs it; a server can run without it and players can join a server that does not have the mod installed.
Windows 10 from build 1809 and Windows 11 are the platforms the author names for the dark title bar. The mod is not compatible with the DarkTitleBar and Mica mods, so those should be removed before it is used. The mod is open source under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are publicly linked. Files are published for Fabric only, for game versions 1.21.11 – 26.3, with snapshot builds also published, and the latest file is 1.2.1 for 26.3.
