Here are my first results (I'll continue testing later). I tested on Ubuntu 20.04 with Wayland desktop.

(1) The window title fonts are way too large (obviously in CSD mode). Can we reduce the font size?
As I wrote before, I would prefer not to modify libdecor because it's packaged in recent distros.

I understand and I agree. It's at least good as a start.

But, libdecor is constructed as a host for plugins which draw titlebars :
"It aims to provide multiple backends that implement the decoration drawing."
Only one plugin I know of exists now, libdecor-cairo, which hardcodes the fontsize used for window titles.
But, other libdecor plugins might appear in the future.

How complicated would it be to ...

(a) write everything needed directly in FLTK as Bill suggested (IIRC) ?

(b) write a plugin for libdecor if that's easier than (a) ?

Don't understand me wrong, it's only a question.

Theoretically I would prefer to use (a) rather than relying on libdecor if (when) we need to use client-side decorations and we don't need to care anyway on platforms that use server-side decorations.
