--- Comment #10 from Matthew Francis <fdbugs at neosheffield.co.uk> ---
@Tor
Respectfully, I think we're more in agreement than disagreement. I agree that
LO should indeed look like an application that belongs on MacOS when on MacOS -
not a purely "neutral cross platform" app.

The problem is it currently doesn't entirely look like it belongs. In most
modern MacOS apps, the very top of the window is visually unified with what is
immediately beneath, be it tabs, toolbars, buttons, search boxes or whatever
else. However, LO windows still have a clearly delineated title bar, complete
with mostly unused space except for window buttons and centred title text, and
a sharp border at the bottom of the title bar like all apps used to have in the
old days.

My point in addition to this in comment#1 meant that, if the visuals of the
title bar are in fact updated to look like a modern MacOS app, the only viable
and indeed reasonable thing to then do with the "Persona/Firefox" theming
mechanism (which LO still supports natively, even though it may not be much
used - it is in Options - LibreOffice - Personalisation - Own Theme) is for
whatever background image it specifies to spread fully across the "area
formerly known as the title bar", including the topmost part of the window - I
had no other meaning than that in terms of cross-platform UI. Either that, or
not to support it at all any longer, which I think would be a shame.

Setting this back to NEW as I believe this should sufficiently clarify the
meaning of the bug - but I will also butt out at this point
