Clear and concise description of the problem

The current "Application Window Header" is not ideal. There is a toggle to hide the menu bar, but the title bar sticks out in a ugly manner. Specially so when the sidebar is collapsed. There are better alternative to this.

Suggested solution

The ideal solution is something like vscode's implementation where menu bar & title bar is integrated into one. When menu bar options are hidden the text menu disappears but the window controls remain. On full-screen it too disappears.

Alternative

Something like Firefox's where menu is by default always hidden and the tab section is integrated with the window controls. When Alt key is pressed a row containing menu options appear.

After opening the issue, I found a related one in the forum:

https://community.anytype.io/t/reintroduce-a-minimal-custom-header-in-the-windows-app/9567

However, this is an additional enhancement to the original issue, which addressed the menu bar and title bar always being visible. This is more about the request other commenters seem to have made on the post.

I strongly support this feature request! The current Windows title bar significantly impacts the user experience, and a more integrated, minimalist window header would greatly enhance Anytype's aesthetics and usability on Windows. I look forward to seeing this improvement implemented soon.
