they would still have to draw their own decorations to handle any other window manager that doesn't implement decorations, such as Weston. Maybe Canonical would pay for it? It's a major change for something that no GTK/GNOME apps would even use, and it wouldn't really benefit those small applications. And honestly I see very little chance that the current GNOME volunteers are going to implement server side decorations in Wayland unless someone outside the project steps up to do the work. GNOME is an open source project, asking them to reconsider a position doesn't make sense - the default response to every feature request is "no" unless someone volunteers to implement it. I don't want to retread more of the discussion that was in the github issue, but one way to do it is to have Electron hook into GTK and draw the GTK decorations, like Firefox does. That way you can be sure it will work on any window manager that doesn't provide decorations, not just GNOME. Inside Electron would be the safest place to implement a fallback for applications that don't care about decorations.
I think both SSD and CSD have their use-cases and I still wish GNOME's would reconsider their position on this.įor apps that don't care about decorations, the toolkit is supposed to handle it. In any case, we'll have to wait and see how it all plays out. Maybe this won't be a problem in practice, but if this starts happening, then the experience for Linux desktop users will be worse than just using SSD.

But I'm a bit afraid that, given Linux desktop's market share, smaller app developers might not have the resources to do this right and then Linux will start inheriting the look and feel from Windows and macOS. This shouldn't be a problem for applications that have the resources to do this properly, as in your examples. Usually implementing CSD properly for each platform requires a bit more work than just relying on the toolkit's default or on SSD. But then there are also applications that do care enough about it, in which case CSD is way to go.
My impression is that there will always be apps that don't care enough about decorations and would just prefer to use the operating system defaults and SSD provided a reasonable way to do that.
