Is there a way to control the padding of traffic lights?

I found some code here to hide the title bar but the controls have 0 padding to the edges

EDIT: Tbh what i want is have my own 'toolbar' that looks nice on all platforms and have native controls for close etc.

ie on mac os, figure out what the title bar height is supposed to be and place my own buttons on the right side.
windows, also change height of buttons depending on the platform's title bar height

is there a way to do this? or a workaround

You can look at what Jewel or Nucleus do

I don't know if the native padding can be changed tho if that's what you're after, I suspect they come as a "pre made block"

[Alex Styl]

what is Nucleus?

I think u mean this one https://github.com/NucleusFramework/Nucleus

I mean @אליהו הדס's, not sure if it was moved to an org or what

[Didier Villevalois]

@seb yes, it was moved a new org.

Yes, indeed, I modified it in the native code so that it aligns with the title bar of the decorated window, but I don't offer the option to modify the padding.

I ended up setting the titlebar to transparent instead since it has some padding and changed the UI a bit that just looks nice

rootPane.putClientProperty("apple.awt.fullWindowContent", true)
rootPane.putClientProperty("apple.awt.transparentTitleBar", true)
rootPane.putClientProperty("apple.awt.windowTitleVisible", false)

@Alex Styl I'm trying to do the same thing, did you manage to get any more top padding than this?

[Sam]

I feel like there must be some way of doing it since Jetbrains IDEs do it and a load of other apps do too

[Alex Styl]

nah, I gave up and move on with life

[Sam]

Fair enough, I've just tweaked my design too, it's a real pity though
