Problem Description

Currently, the application uses macOS-style window controls (colorful buttons positioned on the left side) regardless of the operating system. This creates an inconsistent user experience for Windows and Linux users who expect native window controls that match their system's design language.

Expected Behavior

Users should have the option to switch between:

  • macOS style: Colorful window control buttons (red, yellow, green) positioned on the left side
  • Native OS style: System-appropriate window controls for Windows/Linux positioned according to OS conventions

Additional Information

This feature would improve the overall user experience by allowing the application to better integrate with different operating systems' native UI patterns. Users could choose their preferred style or have the application automatically detect and apply the appropriate style based on the current operating system.

A settings option or system preference could be implemented to toggle between these styles.
