Description

### Your use case

#### What would you like to do?
I can't grab and move the window. All the click-drag zones of the top bar space appear to be occupied by something or other.

#### Why would you like to do it?
It's one of the most common things a user needs to do with the chat window interface, is grabbing and move it about their desktop. Taking up all the grab bar space with active elements defeats that.

#### How would you like to achieve it?
Provide a tint or make sure there's a continuous bar all the way along the top of the window that a user can grab. This penchant for flat UI just makes it horribly worse. A little depth goes a long way to helping with everyday usability.

### Have you considered any alternatives?

There is no alternative, it's a system-level UX need.
