Update zones.md
Forbidding any modification of the menubar or title bar is very limiting. While preventing their modifications from individual workbenches make sense, preventing core to modify them is not acceptable.
The underlying design principles to prevent this are non existent. As a proof here is a list of many high end softwares that are putting widgets in the menu bar :
- Visual studio
- Google chrome
- Paint.net
- catia (has workbench selector in menu)
- solidworks has many widgets in toolbar
- Blender
- microsoft office
The list just goes on and on.
Wouldn't this deserve a larger discussion about client-side decorations? https://www.qt.io/blog/custom-window-decorations
A larger discussion about merging title bar and menu bar is indeed needed. But the current design book seems wrong here anyway.
Btw the link you posted is awesome. I have been meaning to merge title bar and menu bar for a long time but was detered by the drawbacks of the solutions I could find. But now it seems that qt 5.15 is making it easier. Though it's not sure that it's working perfectly on all platforms yet
