@Psifidotos, where can I download the Mac OS style buttons (with this zoom effect) used in your illustrative gif?

Why didn't you bundle these 3 add-ons (Window Buttons, Title and AppMenu) into a single add-on, or an even better option to add them as features in Latte Dock?

@Psifidotos can you add an option to hide window title bar when maximized like Active Window Control has? I was using this in my setup with latte top bar auto-hide enabled (so that my maximized window basically had no title bar).

This is supported through Latte or by Window Buttons in plasma panel... In Latte you can find this setting through Latte Global Settings: https://userbase.kde.org/LatteDock/TipsAndTricks#Can_I_have_different_Borderless_Maximized_windows_options_between_different_layouts.3F

So I asked the good people over in the #kde-devel:kde.org Riot and they said the issue I posted below is a bug on your part. @ngraham:matrix.org says it's a build failure. I don't really use GitHub (I use GitLab) so can you please create a Issue for me?

Posting as top-level comment so it pings you.

it was never a window buttons problem, you just downloaded wrong file:

for v0.3: you must download the 5-12-v0.3 that you can find in Files of this page
for upcoming v0.4: both versions 5-12 + master have been merged and there will be one file to rule all plasma versions
