Native window button (Contribution enquiries) about photon HOT 7 OPEN

Doesn't Electron itself provide these and overlay them onto frameless apps?

@developit I dont think so, or I didnt find this.

I think it works only for OSX, using title-bar-style:hidden. AFAIK it doesn't work with frameless windows.

I was trying to avoid reimplementing this but it might be unavoidable. Does anyone know for sure if this is completely broken in Windows?

I know in OSX, the "traffic lights" work automatically except when frameless windows are used.

I don't know on windows. It does not work for sure in Lubuntu.

@connors dont know if the term "broken" is the good one, but at least frameless windows are definitively not the same as the OSX onlytitle-bar-style:hidden.

Maybe that it can be good to implement this for anyone that would like to build a frameless windows with some additional control buttons ?
I mean, this is leighweight and functional, should be though, isn't it ?

OS X has three types of frameless windows: frame: false, 'title-bar-style': 'hidden', and 'title-bar-style': 'hidden-inset'. All show the window without a border, shadow, frames, and title bar. While the first one also hides the traffic lights, the other two show them.

The difference between hidden and hidden-inset is that hidden-inset shows the traffic lights a little bit more inset (lower on the page) than hidden. This is useful for applications that have a thicker header (ie. Chrome). The other thing is that these two options only work on Yosemite (v10.10) and higher. They also produce some bugs that have yet to be fixed. Links below:

• fullscreen: false issue
• dragging issue
• fullscreen overlay issue
