    I am looking to move the title bar for a main window from the across the top of the window to down the left or right side.
    Like this:
    (https://ddgobkiprc33d.cloudfront.net/0385ae01-1362-4777-9299-aa3c78656588.jpg)

    Attempting to build out a Wayland compositor. Linux/Ubuntu build and target platform.
    Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Trying to avoid removing and reimplementing the window decorations if possible.

    OS: Linux
    Target: Qwayland Compositor
    Issue: Window Decorations/Titlebar
    QT Quick/QT Widgets if required.

    Thank you

      @achar I don't think you can do this with Qt as it is outside of Qt scope (it is something window manager is responsible for).
