    …you sure the pictures aren’t an argument against CSD? The wallpaper on those pics looks the same, so I’m assuming they are on the same system, but they are inconsistent with one another. Meanwhile Blender and Gimp on my system look right at home.

    …ain’t that supposed to be part of the window manager tho?

    • @ChristianWS There are 2 consistencies: Consistent to the system and consistent to the application.
      I prefer consistent to the application, because I think the application developer is more capable to kow what the app needs then the general window decoration provider is.

        …yes, I agree with that, and that is why SSDs are superior. They allow the app developer to do whatever they want inside the app, while also making sure the window frame is consistent with the rest of the system.

        It’s like a gallery wall in a home, you can mix photos and paintings with varying styles, and they would still look like they fit together if you use the same frame style on them.

        • @ChristianWS What if the application developer needs more? Hide the close button, unallow to minimize, display an exit button on fullscreen, Transform the whole app design on the fly or just to have a dark design for the application including decoration (This one hurts my eyes extremly for krita on windows 🥲️). SSD is just not flexible and might not even provide the feature set required by an application.
          Thats why it would be nice to give them the option to implement it directly.

            I mean, disabling the close button is probably on the top 10 ways to give a PC user a panic attack. And there was a time when games had an exit button on fullscreen.

            Also, what the hell, if Undertale can jumpscare the player while still using Windows titlebar on display then SSDs are not an issue.
