Minimise / Close buttons disappeared in v5.0.0 on Windows 8.1

See original GitHub issue

I confirm (by marking “x” in the [ ] below: [x]):


Summary Hi, Since the installation of the client version 5.0.0, I cannot close or minimise the desktop window anymore. The control buttons have disappeared:

The only temporary work-around is to use the <kdb>CTRL</kbd> + <kbd>W</kbd> which sometimes works and sometimes just closes the client.

Environment

  • Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 Professional x64
  • Mattermost Desktop App version: 5.0.0
  • Mattermost Server version: 6.0.0

Steps to reproduce

  • Open the Windows App
  • Enjoy the lack of control buttons.

Expected behavior

See control buttons on the header to mimimise (_) or close the window (X).

Observed behavior

Possible fixes

Versions of Windows before v10 should be using the native window instead of the frameless one. I’ll make a quick fix for this.

@needusernameO-o Apologies, but since Microsoft no longer supports Windows 7 and Windows 8.0 we no longer support it either. Sorry for the inconvenience.
