[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Interface: Add GTK3 Headerbar support (GUI refresh) (#2061)

[Ari]

Thanks all for the comments. I wasn't meaning to start a flamewar. The main driver for my ask was the headerbar to save some screen real state and at the same time update a bit the look and feel (yes I was thinking gnome primarily, but Windows would benefit as well), not to force a change on people. 

An optional plugin approach to headerbar support  would be super nice, with the HB maybe hosting the current menu+toolbar in a single line, optionally collapsing the menu if it doesn't fit behind a hamburger button (so that more vertical screen real state is made available to code)

I did notice that some  apps like e.g. the media player DeadBeef support an optional GTK3 headerbar via plugin (and it looks fantastic on the the desktop) - https://github.com/saivert/ddb_misc_headerbar_GTK3  -  so the approach could be workable. Optional support for CSD (client side decorations) is also present on Firefox.

For context - RE Windows support for headerbars - it's been a long time since gtk3 apps with headerbars work on windows - see for instance gedit 3.20. GIMP CSD/headerbar is coming to all platforms (also optional, as I understand it).
