Use gtk_window to replace native headerBar

[YoussefLasheen]

Before	After

gtk_appbar is a flutter "fake" appbar that works as a drop in replacement for the Material AppBar. It will allow us to add flutter widgets like these examples from the official app. It just feels right to have full control over the headerbar of your linux app and it allows you adopt styles like gtk4 without waiting for google to implement them.

I don't have any say in this project but personally I do not like to have app controls inside window decoration.

Pretty amazing @YoussefLasheen !

@jpnurmi is working on a very similar thing on yaru widgets via window manager

Maybe you two could combine your two approaches?

I have the same opinion 👍

Where can I find @jpnurmi 's approach?

We'll have the missing pieces in the next window_manager release.

Looks great. I am not sure how I can help though. I think I will continue developing my package as it's already been published.

Hey @YoussefLasheen I feel kind of bad because you made such a big effort in creating your package. Thanks for your efforts and eventually you could contribute to yaru_widgets if features of your package are not in YaruWindowTitlebar

See you on discord :smile_cat:
