Tell users the native title bar setting needs a restart

(#1315) Feature Shipped desktop ui
by RexSystem edited originally by @C-Ezra-M on GitHub

Problem

The setting "Use native title bar" does not apply immediately, presumably due to technical restrictions. Nowhere in the app does it say that you need to restart to apply the change.

Proposal

The setting should say that you need to restart the app to apply the change.

The setting appears to have been removed altogether which is a UX Problem IMO Many desktops do different things with their window buttons and many even offer the option to customize them, including Cinnamon which is used by Linux Mint, and KDE Plasma which is used by many Linux distributions including SteamOS. By forcing Fluxer's custom Window Decorations on the user, you may be forcing them to make an exception to their muscle memory and workflow for one particular app.

I'll add that I wasn't aware Fluxer Canary was a thing and that Canary does have the option.

I was clear from the beginning that the option should say that you must restart the app to apply the change, but doesn't and leaves users wondering when the change is going to happen.

Yes, my bad – I should've been clear that I was responding to @ChristianSilvermoon from which I quoted the claim that the option had been removed, which it has not.

To avoid further confusion about whom I was replying to, I have moved it into a comment on said reply.

Now that Canary shows you a dialog to restart the app to apply the change to the native title bar from Fluxer's own and vice-versa, this discussion can be closed.
