Research direction
Investigate the current title bar and menu bar implementation in the Electron main window. Look at files like 'src/index.html' or 'src/main.ts' to understand the layout. Consider modifying the CSS to overlay or combine the menu with the title bar, similar to VS Code's custom title bar. The issue is from 2021 with minimal discussion, so no additional context from maintainer is available.
