Linux currently keeps native window decorations and the macOS-style in-app chrome, so the toolbar still looks like traffic lights instead of the Windows application bar.

This change:

  • Shows the existing File / Edit / View / Help title bar on Linux, with minimize, maximize/restore, and close on the right
  • Disables native decorations on the Linux main window so that custom chrome owns the frame (note and composer windows stay native)
  • Moves the sidebar toggle into the title bar on Linux, matching Windows

macOS overlay traffic lights are unchanged.

Validation

  • pnpm exec dprint fmt / dprint check on the changed files
  • pnpm exec oxlint --quiet --format=github apps/desktop/src/ (0 errors)
  • pnpm -F desktop typecheck
  • pnpm -F desktop test — 3,165 passed
  • cargo check -p tauri-plugin-windows skipped: GTK/gdk-3.0 pkg-config files are not installed in this environment
