WinUI 3 Title Bar Customization

Question

I am new to WinUI and struggling to do some basic things in that. Any help is appreciated.

1.) Is there any way to show or hide default icon from the title bar in WinUI 3. I tried to set the null in this.SetIcon(null). But the default icon is still showing in the Title Bar.

2.) When using the ExtendsContentsIntoTitleBar = true, Is there any way to hide the Minimize and Maximize buttons. Even if I use the WinUIEx extensions method, like this.SetIsMinimizable(false); or this.SetIsMaximizable(false); These are not working as expected and minimize/maximize button is still showing.

Answer 1

There is a way to hide the maximize / minimize buttons and the icon.
