Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
Changing Title Bar of cropped App Window to mininal (like Sticky Notes UWP) or invisible
so that someone can use it as an widget on the Desktop.
Recreating cropped Windows with Power Toys Workspace automatically.
Change cropped Window position and size - if Title Bar is invisible - with Power Toys Grab And Move (perhaps available now?)
(Option: change behavior from 'always on top' to 'normal' (other windows in front are possible))
Scenario when this would be used?
Useful an an widget on desktop.
Save space with lesser Title Bar size on smaller (laptop) display.

Research direction
The request concerns the Crop and Lock utility, but it names no files, tests, or implementation entry points. Start by locating Crop and Lock's window handling and title-bar behavior, then determine whether the requested minimal or invisible title bar, repositioning, and optional normal window behavior can be defined and tested.
