Option to hide helium bar in appearance menu #8

Thank you for heilum! :+1: Here are some ideas to think about this and other related features.

Since this is a browser window it needs to have its window features - hide/full screen/close buttons. Currently we can close it from menu but we can not hide or full screen with one click.

Probably it could be as an "optional" feature to have back those 3 default buttons. But all those 3 actions are useful.

Here are scenarious for all of them.

  1. If i watch a video (news?) and want to see it full screen for a while - i need a fast way to do it with 1 click.
  2. double click (on title/window?, menu, 3 default window buttons)
  3. full screen button (shortcut, menu, 3 default window buttons)
  4. resize with mouse arrows (shortcut, menu, 3 default window buttons)
  5. Closing full screen back to window mode
  6. If a site is using some javascript or other scripts that take into account window size - you will have problems with "full screen" since it will be limited to full screen of the window area
  7. If you want to hide this window for a while but not close

P.S. And filter out our ideas so helium stays clean and not another browser with stay on top feature. :)

It's actually not possible to add back the resize or the maximize button on a floating window. This is a limitation put into place by Apple. We can, however, add the close button back, and I plan to do so once I get around to adding multi-window support.

Was there a close button? Please add it back. The only way I know how to get rid of a player window now is to quit Helium entirely.
