What's Changed

This beta introduces a comprehensive visual redesign of the window control buttons on Windows and Linux, replacing the previous custom icon-based buttons with a pixel-perfect Windows 11 Fluent Design implementation. It also completes the window architecture refactor started in v3.6.4, removing all custom CSS animations in favor of native OS transitions.

✨ New Features

  • Windows 11 Fluent Design caption buttons — 46×32px borderless rectangles with inline SVG symbols, matching the native Windows 11 specification exactly. Close button uses the official #C42B1C red on hover
  • Localized window control tooltips — Minimize, Maximize, Restore, and Close tooltips now use the MTooltip system with warmup/cooldown, translated across all 26 languages
  • Focus-aware button dimming — Caption buttons automatically reduce opacity when the window loses focus, matching native Windows 11 behavior

🛠 Improvements

  • M3 color scheme integration — Window controls now derive colors from --m3-on-surface via color-mix(), automatically adapting to all 10 color scheme presets and light/dark mode
  • OS-native window transitions — Removed all custom CSS enter/exit animations in favor of native window show/hide transitions (DWM on Windows, AppKit on macOS, compositor on Linux)
  • DWM rounded corners — Enabled DWMWCP_ROUND for native Win11 rounded corners on transparent windows
  • Removed 12 hardcoded --window-ctrl-* CSS variables and ~80 lines of animation workaround code
