I think I'm glad it never released. Just look at those window control buttons.

Fair, I have no idea if there's much interest.
For difficulty, I would make wider+more spaced buttons if dynamic sizing were a thing (without it, small windows would have shorter titles when focused).
If you mean visually, yeah not many pixels and with this layout I cannot put a background behind the window buttons without it spanning to the title. The previous version has it but was right-justified, so cannot have the buttons disappear without the title shifting (the shown version allows longer titles when unfocused).
I think that design is viable if it's overhauled a lot. I'd make everything bigger, the color scheme more modern, the text actually visible and put all 3 window controls in one shape (like the title). Though it may not be possible without implementing heavyweight WM components.
It was too slow for an edit, but this is the older version screenshot (note:Imgur only loads links for me with a private window)
One small benefit of the current layout is that I can see both edges of a rolled-up window (when focused).
I would definitely try more things if I had more control. Big text would be nice with content overlap (or outside window+outlined+noBG?), inset controls especially if dynamic. Maybe even different placements of title or buttons.
There was a theme just like this released many years ago on deviantart. Used it for a while back whenever I used window decorations....
