Songbird's creative use of client-side decorations

 

I just tried out Songbird's latest nightly build for Ubuntu
(http://wiki.songbirdnest.com/Developer/Articles/Builds/Nightly_Builds)
The UI is very slick, and one vertical-space-saving trick they've
implemented in a visually appealing way is to put the full menu bar in
the window decoration.
There's been lots of discussion about Chrome's use of CSD -- I think
Songbird does a nice job with it, too, but it would be even better if
it could respect the host platform's rules about which side the
buttons should be on, etc.

Screenshot attached.
