@meldrik What is the difference in a fake account to a not fake account? You support the fascist in either way. Absolutely not what I stand for.
@meldrik
nah... you have to create an account on the fascist site. I don't want a laptop under that conditions.
@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.
@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.

XDG-decoration is not a core part of Wayland. So there is no guarantee that the compositor your user runs does support this. So the general improvement would at least be that you dont have to test both.¹
On top of that the app could have more control over it's decoration, for accessiblity stuff. Like going in a OLED/e-Ink/High-contrast mode.
@ChristianWS Huh? I have shown 3 pictures of a CSD without header bar (Nextcloud, Blender, Gimp).
CSD vs SSD is about control and integration. CSD can just look like SSD, thats why I do not care about the visuals.
@ChristianWS depending on the application different things. Like I said before, the visuals, the design is not what I care about right now. It's the option to have another talk about that topic in general.
Last time, there was no focus on wayland and there wasnt much experience with CSD in general. There also was the proposal of DWD¹ as option, that never came up.

@ChristianWS I think your idea of inconsistency differs from mine. Havin buttons on different locations in a headerbar doesnt have to be inconsistent across apps. Different layouts can be consistent.
BUT I dont talk about header bars. I do talk about CSD only and they can be whatever a guideline makes them to be. All Qt apps already have a CSD, but they suck and it would be nice if app devs would be allowed to make use of them on the KDE side if they decide that it benefits the app.
