How to change the colour and font size of uifigure name?

[DGM]

If you're talking about the titlebar size and text properties, then I assume those parts of the window decorations are dictated by the window manager theme (or other system theme), not MATLAB. I'm free to be corrected on that, but I don't see the propriety of it either way.

For example, fig = uifigure("Name","my gui", ...); I dont' see any property setting for the name's color and its font size. Thanks

Hi Lee,

@DGM is correct. The title bar’s appearance—font size, color, alignment, etc. is controlled by the operating system’s window manager, not by MATLAB.

If you need to display a custom-styled title (including color, font face, size, etc.), a workaround can be to place a label or text at the top of your app, just under the actual title bar. For example:

function createCustomTitledApp()
    fig = uifigure('Name','Default OS Title Bar');  % This cannot be styled.
    
    % Create a label at the top with custom style
    lbl = uilabel(fig);
    lbl.Text = 'My Styled Title';
    lbl.FontSize = 20;        
    lbl.FontWeight = 'bold';     
    lbl.FontColor = [1 0 0];    
    
    % Position the label at the top
    lbl.Position = [20 fig.Position(4)-60 300 40];
    % Adjust as needed for your layout
    
end

Hope this helps!
