    Description

      Currently Qt applications can only draw in a window's client area. However, some modern platforms now provide facilities for drawing in a window's frame area as well, which has become quite popular lately.

      Qt should provide a means for doing this. Suggested course of action:

      • New Qt window flags:
      • FullSizeContentView
      • NoPaintTitleBarBackground (NSWindow.titlebarAppearsTransparent on OS X)
      • QWindow::effectiveGeometry() == QWindow::frameGeometry() if FullSizeContentView is set else QWindow::geometry(), though an additional concern is that "client geometry" may not necessarily be square. for example, providing the geometry of the reserved "system region" (top-left of the window on OS X, top-right of the window on Windows & WinRT) would be useful
