Allow to show close, minimize buttons in fullscreen mode

[ssoaora]

Type: Bug

I hope this message finds you well.

I really hope this gets fixed.

Best regards, Dongmin Lee

@bpasero Yes the Jetbrains IDEs support the feature I described.

screenshot from CLion:

(from the screenshot, the buttons look like they can’t be clicked, but if I hover over them with my mouse, the function works.)

[bpasero]

@ssoaora but are you certain the window is macOS native fullscreen in that case or just maximised? When you click on the green icon do you to maximise further?

[ssoaora]

@bpasero Nope. If I hover over with my mouse the message shows 'Exit fullscreen mode' like in the screenshot.
