Is there a way to hide the default title bar and make my own? I can't seem to find a way to make one that could move the window around.

    Hello,

    Is there a way to hide the default title bar and make my own?

    Yes, you can do this by SetBorderAndTitleBar

    SetBorderAndTitleBar(Boolean, Boolean) Sets the border and title bar properties of the window.

    Before you set it, you need to get AppWindow, you can get it and hide titlebar by following code in the MauiProgram.cs.

    #if WINDOWS
                builder.ConfigureLifecycleEvents(events =>
                {
                    events.AddWindows(wndLifeCycleBuilder =>
                    {
                        wndLifeCycleBuilder.OnWindowCreated(window =>
                        {
                            window.ExtendsContentIntoTitleBar = false;
                            /*prevent your app content extends into the title bar area.*/
                            IntPtr nativeWindowHandle = WinRT.Interop.WindowNative.GetWindowHandle(window);
                            Microsoft.UI.WindowId win32WindowsId = Microsoft.UI.Win32Interop.GetWindowIdFromWindow(nativeWindowHandle);
                            Microsoft.UI.Windowing.AppWindow winuiAppWindow = Microsoft.UI.Windowing.AppWindow.GetFromWindowId(win32WindowsId);
                            if (winuiAppWindow.Presenter is Microsoft.UI.Windowing.OverlappedPresenter p)
                            {
                                p.SetBorderAndTitleBar(false, false);
                            }
                           
                        });
                    });
                });
    #endif
    

    Best Regards,
