Title Bar area is being underutilized and wasting chrome

I noticed that many Windows apps reduce their 'chrome' by utilizing what would otherwise be empty space in the title bar.

 

For example:

--Word has a customizable Quick Access Toolbar

--Edge integrates the Tab Switcher

--Photoshop integrates the Menu Bar

--A common thread is the name of the app is totally omitted

 

Fusion on other hand doesn't have any of these optimizations. Below I've demonstrated one way Fusion could save precious pixels:

Can one of the moderators explain why this thread was moved to the Preview forum? I don't believe I've referenced any Preview functionality in my post.

@Anonymous totally - that's what we ultimately want to do, but currently the UI engine isn't set up for us to move the document tabs to the top of the window app bar, and to do it we would need to hack the code (which is rad and all but we can't do that haha). We have this in our backlog and will look into other ways to achieve this. Thanks for bringing this up!

Any chance you could help get this thread moved back to the "Design, Validate & Document" forum?
