Maybe I’m misunderstanding but for clarification, the fact they’re drawn by the client actually means they can always be the same across different environments. This is in opposition to server-side decorations which are drawn by the desktop environment and should match the environment as a result. That said, server-side decorations are largely much less extensible than client side ones.
It’s a bad thing that they’re always the same, I don’t like having window borders or buttons and use a keyboard based hyprland setup, this is just a bunch of wasted space for me
Well, you can disable window controls in gnome and KDE afaik if you want. Then you’ll only have the various app-specific buttons that are necessary for functionality.
If you’re looking for every app to have a vim-like interface or something, well, that seems a bit unrelated to CSDs.
I imagine it’s hard to debug and hard to ensure it’s consistent across machines due to different environments?

Ah that makes more sense!
