Possible UI improvement (not really an improvement, just something nice)

Maybe a nice custom titlebar for Linux instead of the native titlebar.

Just a nice visual aspect. Same concept as VSCode's custom titlebar which makes the app just feel a bit nicer.

Thanks for the suggestion!

For reference, here is how it looks like on MacOS:

VSCode on Ubuntu 22.04LTS looks like this, with comparison to normal system Windows.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to install (due to lack of Arm64 builds) or build GitButler on Ubuntu, but maybe somebody else could contribute a picture of it running in comparison to VSCode.

@Byron Here is the titlebar of GitButler on Linux (Ubuntu)

Thanks! Could you also show the title bar of VSCode? To me it didn't look particularly special on Linux, but I am pretty sure I am missing something here.

@Byron Sure, here are some screenshots for VSCode:

Custom:

Native:

Just a note, I did customize the titlebar a bit in the settings but in short, the custom titlebar looks part of the app while the native one is stock to all other ones if that makes sense.

Thanks, I understand the difference now! On Linux, the VSCode custom titlebar seems to require some customisation to enable, too. On MacOS the difference is immediately clear though.

In any case, I am glad we could collect some screenshots as reference for when somebody picks this issue up.

This could also apply to Windows - again, GitButler vs. VSCode:
