Description It's my idea for merge a titlebar with toolbar in elementary. I think buttons like close/maximize should be more "visible" and consistent with toolbar controls.

Based on DanRabbit mockup from [link]

Nice concept! I'd probably make the white behind the window controls more transparent to separate them from the normal toolbar buttons.

I like this one, but it needs to be tested, if it is more than jsut good looking

looks really nice!! However, I'm not convinced about the usefulness. These window controls are too easy to confuse for toolbar buttons. IMHO there should be a clear distinction between window controls and controls inside the apps.

Really like the idea.

Could you upload an SVG source? I'd like to play with the button background. The buttons are a bit too prominent for my tastes.

Good positioning of the Window controls, optimal for touchscreens, nice!

Yeah, I prefer the additional borders as well. Try to get this featured on the Elementary group to see how people feel.

Assuming this is doable I love the idea of combining the titlebar and toolbar.

Nice! I prefer the squares around them than nothing at all. But still, position isn't optimal for me. Obviously this is very stylish and might well be good for elementary OS though. Keep 'em coming
