Python webview in a maximized window

I am trying to show a local html page in pywebview in a maximized screen by default , I have tried all methods I could find but it didnt work. here is my code :

from flask import Flask, send_from_directory
import threading
import webview
import os
 
...

webview.create_window('My React App', url='http://127.0.0.1:5000')
webview.start()

here is what I have tried so far:

  1. I tried Fullscreen flag as True but it will only show the webview in full screen and the windows frame around the webview disappears, I am trying to show it as a maximized window with "close , minimize etc" buttons

    webview.create_window('My React App', url='http://127.0.0.1:5000', fullscreen=True)

  2. Then I tried to get the screen size and define that as height and width , it maximized the window but it showed 10 pixel gap on the right and left side of the window :

    screen_width = user32.GetSystemMetrics(0)
screen_height = user32.GetSystemMetrics(1)

root.geometry(f"{screen_width}x{screen_height}")


webview.create_window("My React App",url="http://127.0.0.1:5000",width=screen_width, height=screen_height)

How can I make it so , that it launched the webview in a maximized window by default?

If you want to see the controls windows panel:

# It doesn't work in Jupyter ###
# It works in Pycharm #
   
import webview
import ctypes

def create_window():
    # Create a maximized window
    window = webview.create_window(
        "My Maximized App",
        "https://example.com/",  # Replace with your local HTML file path
        resizable=True,
        #frameless=False  # Ensure the window has a frame with controls
    )

    # Maximize the window
    def maximize_window():
        user32 = ctypes.windll.user32
        hwnd = user32.GetForegroundWindow()
        user32.ShowWindow(hwnd, 3)  # SW_MAXIMIZE

    webview.windows[0].events.loaded += maximize_window
    
    webview.start()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    create_window()

You can use toggle_fullscreen() function to Maximize and Restore down the window.

To open maximized window by default, you can first create a window and then maximize it.

Here is a code:

from flask import Flask, send_from_directory
import threading
import webview
import os

def minimize():
    window.minimize()

def maximize():
    window.toggle_fullscreen()

def close():
    window.destroy()

...

window = webview.create_window('My React App', url='http://127.0.0.1:5000')
webview.start(func=maximize)

This code will open a window in maximized form

In webview, maximize functionality is not available by default.

You can try fullscreen option of the webview.create_window() method.

from flask import Flask, send_from_directory
import threading
import webview
import os
 
...

webview.create_window('My React App', url='http://127.0.0.1:5000', fullscreen=True)
webview.start()
