Option for using gtk-theme buttons

[ghost]

First of all, your extension is genius and really needed for the GNOME-Desktop in my opinion. My issue or better enhancement would be, enable the user to use his gtk-theme buttons for the close, min and max buttons. Additionally i would give the option to replace the activity button with window-controls and get the activity button back if no window is maximized. This way the window-title would not move if a window get maximized. All of this adds consistency and would be really awesome.

Please take this with a grain of salt, because i have no experience with GNOME-Shell-extensions and don't really know, if this enhancement is possible. Anyway, thank you for the effort.

Hi @RockOnHero, thank you for your input.
Window button themes and hiding activity button are in our roadmap. We will also add settings to make them configurable.

@jonian maybe the roadmap could go in the readme for reference?

[jonian]

@RockOnHero there is no roadmap with dates. Issues marked as enhancement or feature will be implemented.

@jonian In case you might find it useful, I have implemented something similar in my extension (a fork of Pixel Saver). it might serve as guidance or save some time:

@franglais125 thank you! I have already started implementing this, but I have been busy with work.

@jonian on Ubuntu-18.04 at current master no window button icons appear at all, empty space that works like buttons.
