## What it is
A Qt5 C++ library providing a frameless MainWindow implementation with a custom dark stylesheet based on the Fusion style, styled after the Visual Studio 2013 flat look. It includes a custom titlebar with minimize, restore, maximize, and close buttons, window dragging, and double-click maximize toggling.

## Use cases
- make a Qt app look like Visual Studio 2013 with a flat dark theme
- create a frameless Qt window with a custom titlebar
- add minimize maximize and close buttons to a frameless Qt window
- apply a dark stylesheet to a Qt5 application
- drag and resize a borderless Qt window
- give my C++ desktop app a modern dark UI

## When to choose
- you are building a Qt5 C++ desktop application and want a flat, dark, frameless look
- you need a custom titlebar with standard window buttons and native event support
- you want a lightweight drop-in style class rather than a full UI framework

## When to avoid
- you need window resizing, which is still an unimplemented todo
- you need Linux support or Qt6 compatibility, which are not covered by testing
- you want an actively maintained solution with broader platform coverage - consider QGoodWindow instead
