Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/5881

State: closed
Merged: Yes


Summary of the Pull Request

When we maximize the window, shrink the caption buttons (the min, max, close buttons) down to 32px tall, to be the same height as the TabRowControl. This way, the tabs will be flush with the top of the display.

PR Checklist

Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

I tried for a couple hours this morning to do this as a VisualState. First I tried doing it as one on the TabRow, which I had very little success with. Then, I eventually realized that the TabRow wasn't even responsible for the padding there, it was being created by the fact that the caption buttons were too tall. Again, I tried to use the existing VisualStates they have defined for this, but I couldn't figure out how to do that.

I think the visual state solution would be cleaner, so if someone knows how to do that instead, please let me know.

Validation Steps Performed

  • Maximized/restored the Terminal on my display with the taskbar on the bottom
