Bug Description

It currently doesn't look correct in an ubuntu session. It's one thing for an app here or there to use csd/GtkHeaderBar & be different than the bulk of apps but not the file manager.

Thank you for your bug report. Could you give specifics about what doesn't look good?

We are evaluating the use of csd/gtkheaderbar since it's not something we can push back on for ever and they look mostly alright. They are some issues (like the doubled wm controls on maximized windows) but we would welcome more detailled feedback to understand what is working and not for users.

We also might change back to use normal decorations for the LTS but still the feedback is going to be useful for later/other cases

Biggest problem is probably the question where would local menus go, unless you would ditch the menu all together and just run with the csd based ones.

Also, if the titlebar buttons would hide on maximize, then the whole widget area would have to move to the left i assume, which would be weird and not too intuitive.

There are some benefits to CSD though, like the minimize maximize animation is smoother, because titlebar gets drawn at the same as rest of the window.

The reversion of nautilus for 16.04 back to 3.14 resolves this bug

Thanks Doug, let's keep those bugs open though since we are likely to do the update next cycle and it's better if we have a list of issues already there
