What's Wrong?
Platform: Windows 11
App: Claude Desktop (Claude Code)
Description:
The Windows native title bar buttons (minimize, maximize, close)
overlap with the Claude Desktop interface toolbar buttons, making
some UI controls inaccessible or visually conflicting.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open Claude Desktop on Windows 11
- Observe the top-left/right area of the window
Expected behavior:
UI buttons should not overlap with Windows window controls.
Actual behavior:
Claude's toolbar icons overlap with the native Windows title bar controls.
Display scaling: (add yours, e.g. 125%)
Screen resolution: (add yours, e.g. 1920x1080)

The Claude Desktop toolbar buttons should be positioned
below or separate from the Windows native title bar area,
with no visual overlap.
