            Bug ID: 16375
           Summary: Make CSD optional
    Classification: Xfce Core
           Product: Libxfce4ui
           Version: 4.15.1
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: General

  Target Milestone: 4.14

Hi!

With 4.15/4.16 picking up speed, client-side decorations (CSD) have been added
to libxfce4ui. Simon's blog has some more information:
https://simon.shimmerproject.org/2020/01/14/xfce-4-14-maintenance-and-4-15-updates/

I've been testing this new version and I'm not a fan for these reasons:

- CSD title bars are **massive**
- I don't want app elements in my title bars (such as the search bar in the
Xfce Settings Manager) - it's one of the reasons I'm avoiding Gnome apps like
the plague.
- Xfwm4 themes do not work on CSD windows (unless such support is planned??)
- Non-Xfce/Gnome windows do not use CSD, leading to heavy inconsistencies
across CSD and non-CSD window styles

I would be very very thankful if CSD could be made optional, or at least be
made to look and behave exactly like traditional title bars. Please consider
it.

Cheers!
