Precisely. SSD puts the decorations in the hands of your window manager, which allows you to customise what information and controls are available in the title bar (or if you even want to display one at all), so you can use the space much more efficiently. With CSD, you’re down to the whims and opinions of the application, and their space-wasting choices (and whether they even choose to respect your theming).

That kind of case makes sense, actually.

Wow, that’s wild. I guess that’s what you get from being such a young/niche project, they haven’t had the time/demand to come up against the problems that all the other distros had to solve years ago.

I DLed Cachy with the torrent. Another thing I wish more distros would offer, haha!

I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a distro that doesn’t offer a torrent download option, since it saves the project expensive hosting costs.

Since when did CSD become accepted, let alone encouraged? Titlebars should only ever be drawn by the system. This trend of individual applications drawing their own titlebars is a disaster that results in fragmentation and inconsistent behaviour. The absolute disaster that is the titlebars is one of the main reasons I cannot bring myself to use GNOME, recently.
