Migrate a Windows project to support dark title bars
Projects created before Flutter 3.7 have light title bars even when the Windows theme is dark mode. Projects created before Flutter 3.7 need to be migrated to support dark title bars.
Migration steps
Your project can be updated using these steps:
- Verify you are on Flutter version 3.7 or newer using
flutter --version
- If needed, use
flutter upgrade
to update to the latest version of the Flutter SDK - Backup your project, possibly using git or some other version control system
- Delete the following files:
windows/runner/CMakeLists.txt
windows/runner/win32_window.cpp
windows/runner/win32_window.h
- Run
flutter create --platforms=windows .
- Review the changes to the following files:
windows/runner/CMakeLists.txt
windows/runner/win32_window.cpp
windows/runner/win32_window.h
- Verify your app builds using
flutter build windows
Example
PR 862 shows the migration work for the Flutter Gallery app.
