What is the feature?
The window API needs to be completed such that Dear ImGui integration can be moved fully to user land or extension. This will should be done in the following phases:
- experimental GLFW backend (to ensure we get the user side finished)
- regular win32, cocoa, & x11 backends
GLFW backend
- set/get size
- set/get position
- minimize/maximize
- restore
- focus
- hide cursor mode
- capture cursor mode
- raw mouse input
- check maximized
- check minimized
- check focus
- check hovered
- check resizable
- check decoration
- check top most
- set resizable
- set decoration
- set top most
- callbacks
Win32 backend
- set/get size
- set/get position
- minimize/maximize
- restore
- focus
- hide cursor mode
- capture cursor mode
- raw mouse input
- check maximized
- check minimized
- check focus
- check hovered
- check resizable
- check decoration
- check top most
- set resizable
- set decoration
- set top most
- callbacks
X11 backend
- set/get size
- set/get position
- minimize/maximize
- restore
- focus
- hide cursor mode
- capture cursor mode
- raw mouse input
- check maximized
- check minimized
- check focus
- check hovered
- check resizable
- check decoration
- check top most
- set resizable
- set decoration
- set top most
- callbacks
Cocoa backend
- set/get size
- set/get position
- minimize/maximize
- restore
- focus
- hide cursor mode
- capture cursor mode
- raw mouse input
- check maximized
- check minimized
- check focus
- check hovered
- check resizable
- check decoration
- check top most
- set resizable
- set decoration
- callbacks
- set top most
Once this is done, we will be able to remove many of the experimental flags and just leave GLFW for other backends that we don't support directly yet (i.e. wayland).

Research direction
Start by inspecting the existing experimental GLFW backend and the Window API it implements. Use the checklist in this issue to identify the remaining callbacks and platform operations, then extend the Win32, X11, and Cocoa backends until their listed capabilities are complete and GLFW can remain only for unsupported backends.
