Custom Title Bar on Windows (Issue #26660)
BazaarAcc32
BazaarAcc32 created an issue (wxWidgets/wxWidgets#26660)Hi!
Modern Windows desktop applications often use custom title bars. These title bars look like a standard title bar, but they can also accommodate custom buttons and widgets. This approach is typically used instead of a standard title bar.
It would be great if wxWidgets added this feature. This would improve the framework for those already using it and could potentially attract new users.
This update will also make wxWidgets a more modern framework.

And as long as it is the case, you can just write code using Win32 API directly — and this is something you can already do today.
Maybe we could provide some higher-level API for e.g. adding a custom button to the title bar which might be implementable using CSD in wxGTK, but this will almost certainly be too limited and I don't know if even this could be implemented under Mac.

BazaarAcc32 left a comment (wxWidgets/wxWidgets#26660)Yes, cross-platform implementation might be challenging, but what about making it MSW-only? After all, wxWidgets already has Windows-only features, and they typically have the MSW prefix. Why not make this feature Windows-only (MSW)? It's better than not having it on any platform.
