Description

Some thoughts about the Min/Max/Close buttons, and supporting FullScreen or Tablet Mode

Some properties to consider for this TitlebarControl. This could be also be useful for the Settings UI, if it is presented in a window.

  • CanMaximise
  • CanMinimise
  • CanRestore

Which would hide those buttons if you wanted to make a settings screen which only shows a close button. Also consider how these TitleBar Controls will handle FullScreen/Tablet Mode

Research direction

Start by locating the MinMaxCloseControl and related TitlebarControl implementation; the issue names no files or tests. Determine how the controls should expose CanMaximise, CanMinimise, and CanRestore, and how fullscreen and tablet mode should affect them; done means the requested title-bar behavior is supported.
