1. Those will probably use SDL which has got support for wayland CSD: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/pull/4068 https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/pull/4068 2. Wine apps will probably have to draw the win32 decorations. Native apps can implement their own decorations or can use GTK or Qt to draw their decorations. 3. Qt does have its own CSD decorations, VLC should be able to use that. Intellij is a Java app so I'm not sure about that one but Thunderbird should use GTK decorations. The rest are Electron apps and Electron has a PR open for CSD: https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/29618 https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/29618 A system tray can be added to GNOME with an extension. 4. GTK is not a cross platform toolkit like Qt where it tries to draw everything with native widgets, but it is a portable toolkit meaning that you can port applications to other platforms and they will more or less look the same. I don't know anyone using it ship Windows applications, some improvements have been made to get it working better on Windows though: https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/blog/2021/03/18/build-and-run-gtk-4-applications-with-visual-studio/ https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/blog/2021/03/18/buil...

OK, so I am not doing any desktop app development this days but if I will do I will not write any special code for GNOME. > GTK is not a cross platform toolkit like Qt where it tries to draw everything with native widgets Just a correction, Qt does not use native widget, they have code that will adapt and paint the thigns too look and work as native widgets, so for example they have button groups that when you use it say for OK-Cancel buttons it will change it to Cancel-OK on different platforms (some platforms have the order reversed). Also Qt will paint the OK/Cancel button icons on KDE but not on Windows/GNOME . So in fact Qt devs put the effort in and wrote code and themes to get things look native, use the native file dialogs, use the native notifications, system tray, the native paths etc (not ike the other toolkit that doesn't care about integration, theming and configuration)
