Is it possible to change the color, of the window topbar and if not is there any examples of making a custom one? I'm particularly curious if there any examples of implementing the draggable window part?

AFAIK, you can't directly customise the window topbar. But, you can use the undecorated = true flag of Window to hide the OS topbar, and create a @Composable that'd act as a toolbar. To make it draggable, you can use WindowDraggableArea . Here's an example

Just be aware that you'll have to manage all the actions related to 'topbar' - minimize, maximize and close.
And bear in mind that different platforms have different conventions, e.g. on Windows the controls are on the right and on macOS the controls are on the left.

@Filip Wiesner Yeah that's right. but I should say the Window API is pretty cool and really straight forward. Implementing something like that shouldn't take much time.

[Filip Wiesner]

That's fair, just wanted to point that out because for someone it might not be worth implementing

[theapache64]

can't agree more.
