When using an undecorated window and `WindowDraggableArea` , is it possible to get the Windows window management tools (see screenshot) when moving the app to the top of my screen?

<@U02RTVCF717> it 's possible with the jbr, you can check in the intellig repo, in the jewel module, how they do that with their decoratedwindow

that's definitely it, great to customize. but I found it doesn't play nice with menu bars

although I think those default menu bars aren't really state of the art anymore

<@U02RTVCF717>  if you just want to change the titlebar color with support of menubars you can also check out the <https://www.formdev.com/flatlaf/|flatlaf> library. (it's mainly for swing but you can also use it for compose projects)

however if you want to combine your UI with the titlebar the <https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsRuntimeApi|JBR-API>  gives you full control. I also implemented it in <https://github.com/amir1376/ab-download-manager/|https://github.com/amir1376/ab-download-manager/>  however I completely disabled system buttons and added my own system buttons and menu bars using compose (you can see it by enabling "Merge Titlebar with Menubar"  in the app settings

tbh I always forget swing is an option for desktop, but yeah jbr was exactly what I needed
