Make the headerbar a title bar
Last modified: 2013-08-16 17:52:38 UTC
This is the way new apps are supposed to use the header bar - as the title bar for a client-side-decoration world. However, the bar is starting to look a bit busy now, especially in the Processes page, maybe a review from a designer could help. The style is still a bit rough (no rounded corners, ugly "close" button"). If this won't get in for 3.10, we could instead set the hide_titlebar_when_maximized flag on the window

Yes, the headerbar/titlebar looks cluttered indeed. I have been thinking of moving the load averages to the Resource tab headerbar as is makes more sense there in my opinion (as it's historical data, just like the charts, rather than actual data, like the process tabla), that way the headerbar for resources would also look cluttered (maybe the load averages won't even fit in there, than I'll have to come up with something else). Based on the above, I'd rather user hide_titlebar_when_maximized for now, until we come up with a good idea (or a designer comes up with a good idea) on how to reduce the titlebar clutter.
Could you rebase the patch to the current trunk? I think it might be OK, as (on the most cluttered processes stack) we have end process, stack switchers, two image buttons and close button. The two image buttons should be smaller as the View button was, so this might end up in 3.10.
