Aren't you talking about different use cases? You will get more vertical
space when the title bar is removed by the OS/DE.
Not really, but what you propose is not a reality either, since it doesnt
happen (KDE Netbook only and the extinct Unity -with great inconsistency- in
gnu/linux side). It is not possible at will in macos or windows to remove the
titlebar and if it were to do so it loses functionality (like window controls).
CSD is about adding
functionality to the title bar, basically, and 'make use of this area'.
That's the way it is and by using that space efficiently, the total space
occupied to draw the interface is reduced.
I disagree with this idea because white-space is my friend, and picking up the
window to move it around is what I do quite often.
Mozilla developers have worked on this problem in their implementation for
gnu/linux by adding white-space when the window is not maximized among other
things. (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1399611). Something
similar was already being done on its other supported platforms.
In other office applications there is always clickable white-space to move the
window, something that doesnt happen in LO (toolbar or tabs of notebookbar
white-space is not clickable).
The advantage is clear on
the other hand, and it's a nice design as shown here [1] for KDE.

I dont understand why LO keep using a titlebar anyway.
I suppose I will have to address the VCL plugin developers...
LibreOffice uses the system window, and draws controls with the system
theme. Starting with a different VCL never changes the window.
And we do not have dedicated VCL developers.
ok
