[Libreoffice-ux-advise] [Bug 113388] Support for Client Side Windows Decorations in LibreOffice

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113388

--- Comment #9 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote@utsa.edu> ---
Windows allows this using Desktop Windows Manager (DWM) APIs and extending the
Client Frame [1] replacing the Standard Frame.

IIUC macOS AppKit does also, from the NSWindow/NSView ->
NSAppearanceCustomization [2], but as we make no use of NSAppearance (taking
defaults) for the NSWindow/NSView and stylemask(s).

So both of these would require entirely new development in native code to do
any sort of client side decoration.

While on Linux--X11, and now Wayland, there are multiple code paths for doing
this depending on the DE supporting GUI toolkit being supported.

So, while it could be done--there is no _compelling_ requirement to do so, and
a whole bunch of pain involved in trying to implement cross platform with any
consistent fashion. Allowing  OS and DE defaults just makes more sense from a
UX position.

Again IMHO => WONTFIX
