Nylas-mail: Make OSX 'Close, minimise, maximise' buttons native

[matt3224]

Title says it all. These should be the real traffic light buttons and not web based replicas.

Hey—any particular reason? (I agree, just want to make sure we prioritize this appropriately.)

I can imagine a couple:

1. Native OS X Window Management (like splitting screening).
   -- To do this currently, you have to split screen a different app, then choose Nylas.
2. Third-party window management, ie. Moom (#1838)

Hi ben, I use a few OSX utilities that interact directly with the traffic lights. The main one which I have become accustomed to is window resizing using a tool called moom. Also the native screen splitting is an issue.

I wouldn't call it high priority but it would kill the annoyance of manually resizing to match things perfectly.

@KevinMartin you beat me to it

I use a different colour scheme on osx and non-native traffic lights get missed.

I think part of this is dependent on electron/electron#3009 which has a potential fix from brave/electron#13.

[kevinmartin]

Now that electron/electron#5557 is implemented, can we get the native traffic lights?

Took me a while to figure out that the traffic lights aren't native. I often use split view and I can't with N1.

I'm not sure if this is just the traffic lights or a larger behaviour that's the issue, because:

• You can create a Split View without using the traffic lights, by making one app go fullscreen and dragging another onto it in the expose view.
• This works for Nylas N1 as well. I can split a screen with either a composer window or the main N1 window and any other application
• However, I _cannot_ split a screen with the N1 Main window and a Composer window.
• Yes, I _can_ split a screen with two composer windows.

Can anyone figure out why this is happening?

I am a heavy user of keyboard-based window management (most recently via Moom, previously Slate and others), and it's driving me batty that I can't toss my N1 windows around like usual. Every other app I use allows this, including Atom. Please fix.
