In the floating window UI spec, please consider using a very narrow version of title bar for floating windows like Projects, Files, etc. If it's too much effor to implement it, then it's probably not worth it.
We were considering using "tiny" title bars for floating windows, however it looks that Java does not support this kind of title bars and we should paint them by ourselves. IMO, this approach is not good in case the user uses different theme than default one. Assigning to Dafe who is implementing this feature and is able to say how much effort needs to be spent for implementing this tiny title bar. Dafe, do you want to add something? If not, feel free to close this issue or change it to the enhancement. Thanks.
Changing to enhancement according to UI review process.
