What's Wrong?

Description

On Windows 11, the "Use Incognito" icon in the top-right corner of the Claude Desktop app is positioned too close to (or partially overlaps with) the standard Windows window control buttons. This makes it difficult to toggle Incognito mode without accidentally clicking the "Close" or "Minimize" buttons.

Environment

  • OS: Windows 11
  • App Version: Claude 1.7196.0 (2dbd78) 2026-05-12T05:34:40.000Z

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Claude Desktop on a Windows 11 machine.
  2. Observe the top-right corner of the application window.
  3. Attempt to click the "Incognito" icon.

Expected Behavior

The Incognito icon should have sufficient padding from the Windows system controls to prevent misclicks and ensure visual clarity.

Actual Behavior

The icon is overlapping or nearly touching the system "Close" button.

What Should Happen?

The Incognito icon should have sufficient padding from the Windows system controls to prevent misclicks and ensure visual clarity.
