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:

  1. Open Claude Desktop on Windows 11
  2. 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)

What Should Happen?

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

TL;DR

Adjusting the CSS or layout configuration of the Claude Desktop application to account for the Windows native title bar height may resolve the overlap issue.

Guidance

  • Verify the display scaling and screen resolution settings on the Windows 11 machine to ensure they are not contributing to the overlap.
  • Check if there are any existing CSS classes or layout configurations in the Claude Desktop application that can be modified to position the toolbar buttons below the native title bar area.
  • Consider adding a padding or margin to the top of the Claude Desktop interface to create space between the toolbar buttons and the Windows title bar controls.
  • Review previous versions of the application to identify any changes that may have introduced this regression.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not include specific code details.

Notes

The issue report mentions that the problem occurs on Windows 11, but the operating system listed is macOS, which may indicate a discrepancy in the report.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Adjust the layout configuration or CSS to position the toolbar buttons below the native title bar area, as the root cause of the issue is likely related to the application's layout and not a specific version bug.
