Most users are lost when they don’t have a title bar to drag a window around, and Wayland requires clients to draw these themselves.

Don’t aim at integrating with the environment, it can’t be achieved that way.

Here is how I implemented it in GLFW, using one 1×1 buffer and four subsurfaces and handling the events in the library: https://github.com/glfw/glfw/pull/1161

There is also a proposal for an xdg-toplevel-decoration protocol, allowing clients to let the compositor draw it for them if it advertises support, but the generic client-side method must still be supported: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/212690/
