I'll eagerly invite you to dissect this PR for its merits, its pros and cons. However, your questions lead me to conclude that you haven't really looked at what I'm proposing. Half of your questions are answered just by looking at the documentation for `StageStyle.EXTENDED` and `HeaderBar`. These are the two primary APIs that I've mentioned over and over again in this PR. Let me try to explain `StageStyle.EXTENDED` in different terms: 1. `EXTENDED` is like `UNDECORATED` in the following ways: The application controls the entirety of the window. There is no non-client area (i.e. no title bar), and you can place scene graph nodes everywhere. Since there is no non-client title bar, applications will have to provide their own `HeaderBar` and their own system menu (if they so desire). 2. `EXTENDED` is like `DECORATED` in the following ways: The window has a resize border, shadows, and window animations. It has the platform window buttons (minimize, maximize, close) _superimposed_ over the application window. Just as with a decorated window, applications have no control over whether corners are rounded, how borders look like, and so on. Since there is no non-client title bar, all questions regarding the appearance or accessibility of the `HeaderBar` (color gradient, dark/light theme, etc.) are left to the purview of application developers. `HeaderBar` is a control just like any other JavaFX control, and application developers will decide how it looks like. Notably, there is no translucency, because JavaFX does not support window-level translucency. This has nothing to do with this feature proposal, and should be discussed on its own merits. > Another aspect is whether this should be a conditional feature. If not, how > will it be supported on Android/iOS? RaspPI? I answered this question in the opening post of this PR. `StageStyle.EXTENDED` is a conditional feature that downgrades to `StageStyle.DECORATED` on platforms that don't support it. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jfx/pull/1605#issuecomment-2430222052 PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jfx/pull/1605#issuecomment-2430224576
