Thanks for this great project, it's really helpful 😃

Version: 5.22.14
.Net Core SDK version: latest 2.2 release
Target: Windows 10

The menu bar is supposed to be removed completely by invoking BrowerWindow.SetMenu(null) or Menu.setApplicationMenu(null). However, the default menu, which contains standard items such as File and Edit, is not suppressed and the menu bar is not removed from created BrowserWindow on Windows.

The menu bar is supposed to be removed completely by invoking browserWindow.RemoveMenu();

See also win.removeMenu()

Example:

string viewPath = $"http://localhost:{BridgeSettings.WebPort}/windows/demowindow";

Electron.IpcMain.On("new-window", async (args) =>
{
    var browserWindow = await Electron.WindowManager.CreateWindowAsync(viewPath);
    browserWindow.RemoveMenu();
});

Electron.IpcMain.On("manage-window", async (args) =>
{
    var browserWindow = await Electron.WindowManager.CreateWindowAsync(viewPath);
    browserWindow.OnMove += UpdateReply;
    browserWindow.OnResize += UpdateReply;
    browserWindow.RemoveMenu();
});

Electron.IpcMain.On("listen-to-window", async (args) =>
{
    var mainBrowserWindow = Electron.WindowManager.BrowserWindows.First();

    var browserWindow = await Electron.WindowManager.CreateWindowAsync(viewPath);
    browserWindow.OnFocus += () => Electron.IpcMain.Send(mainBrowserWindow, "listen-to-window-focus");
    browserWindow.OnBlur += () => Electron.IpcMain.Send(mainBrowserWindow, "listen-to-window-blur");
    browserWindow.RemoveMenu();

    Electron.IpcMain.On("listen-to-window-set-focus", (x) => browserWindow.Focus());
});
