Description: Some programs such as PDF XChange and MS Office 2010ish allow to put UI elements like buttons to title bar. This can be a major space saver on small screens. Also there are context menus (mouse right click) that would contain elements. On windows there is at least 3 places that could be utilized. 1. title bar for buttons 2. title bar context menu 3. program icon context menu in upper left corner Something to keep in mind that if tabs is ever implemented they could also have an option to be located here. Challenges: - each OS (Windows, linux, MacOS) have different size or shape of title bar and probably very different APIs for using them so it might be a bit more tricky to implement this feature. The way how user could customize this could be like this: - under Customise - Toolbars - Target there is a new item called "Title Bar" where user can put their own buttons. - under Customise - Context Menus - Target there is 2 new items called "Title Bar" and "Title Bar" logo where users can put their own items. As attachement is a screenshot of PDF-XChange so you'll see what is possible to do in Windows. Steps to Reproduce: 1. . 2. 3. Actual Results: no title bar customization Expected Results: title bar customization Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: .

Golemus, LO provides customisation of toolbars (Tools -> Customise). You can create a new toolbar (you call it Title Bar) and assign the commands to it you like. Does this solve your enhancement request? => NEEDINFO

A new toolbar consumes space on screen. It is especially annoying on small (12-14") 16:9 laptop screen with small resolution (1368x768, to some degree also on 1600x900 or 1920x1080). Point was that you can one row of more space for the content on small screens by putting these buttons to title bar where is often plenty of extra space.

That is what is known as Client Side Decoration, LibreOffice does not currently support, and rather a hard sell to do cross platform bcz of its dependency on native widget per os/DE. But otherwise this is a duplicate of bug 113388 and should have been marked up as such. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 113388 ***
The UI variants "Single Toolbar" or "Tabbed Compact" might also help you (View > User Interface...).
