No, that's a different feature. I think Gnome/Unity? implemented this,
where the system task bar takes on the application menus. But this new
thing is having application stuff intrude into the app window title area.
And, maybe having the app manage window features, rather than the window
manager.

I don't grok this as anything to consider. Even with my old Nec MultiSync
90GX monitor, I have plenty of screen real estate. I have zero concerns
with needing more space in my app windows.

I strongly suspect that my initial thought on what "TTS" means is
considerably different than what you're referring to. It's an old old gif
image, featuring a wizard casting a transmutation spell. :)
