## 🎯 Description
Adds configurable window control buttons (minimize, maximize, close)
positioning for Linux, allowing users to choose between macOS-style
(left side) or Windows-style (right side) placement.
## ✨ Features
- New `title_bar.window_controls_position` setting with `"left"` and
`"right"` options
- Left positioning: macOS style (Close → Minimize → Maximize)
- Right positioning: Windows style (Minimize → Maximize → Close)
- Fixed transparent background issues for window controls
- Maintains consistent styling with Zed's theme
## 🔧 Technical Changes
### Settings System
- Added `WindowControlsPosition` enum in `settings_content.rs`
- Extended `TitleBarSettingsContent` with `window_controls_position`
field
- Updated `TitleBarSettings` to include the new configuration
### Title Bar Layout
- Modified `platform_title_bar.rs` to use setting for layout positioning
- Added conditional logic for `justify_start()` vs `justify_between()`
based on position
- Fixed transparent container background by adding `bg(titlebar_color)`
### Window Controls
- Updated `platform_linux.rs` to reorder buttons based on position
setting
- Changed button background from `ghost_element_background` to
`title_bar_background`
- Implemented proper button sequencing for both positions
## 🧪 How to Test
1. Add to your Zed settings:
```json
{
"title_bar": {
"window_controls_position": "left"
}
}
```
or
```json
{
"title_bar": {
"window_controls_position": "right"
}
}
```
2. Restart Zed
3. Verify buttons are positioned correctly
4. Check that background is not transparent
5. Test button functionality (minimize, maximize, close)
## �� Expected Behavior
- **Left position**: Buttons appear on the left side of the title bar in
Close → Minimize → Maximize order
- **Right position**: Buttons appear on the right side of the title bar
in Minimize → Maximize → Close order
- **Background**: Solid background matching Zed's theme (no
transparency)
## 🔍 Files Changed
- `crates/settings/src/settings_content.rs` - Added enum and setting
- `crates/title_bar/src/title_bar_settings.rs` - Updated settings struct
- `crates/title_bar/src/platform_title_bar.rs` - Modified layout logic
- `crates/title_bar/src/platforms/platform_linux.rs` - Updated button
ordering and styling
## 🎨 Design Rationale
This feature provides Linux users with the flexibility to choose their
preferred window control button layout, improving the user experience by
allowing them to match their desktop environment's conventions or
personal preferences.
## ✅ Checklist
- [x] Code compiles without errors
- [x] Settings are properly serialized/deserialized
- [x] Background transparency issues resolved
- [x] Button ordering works correctly for both positions
- [x] Layout adapts properly based on configuration
- [x] No breaking changes to existing functionality

Closes #ISSUE
Adds a `Maybe<T>` type to `settings_content`, that makes the distinction
between `null` and omitted settings values explicit. This unlocks a few
more settings in the settings UI
Release Notes:
- N/A *or* Added/Fixed/Improved ...
This PR adds the ability to control the capabilities granted to
extensions by the extension host via the new
`granted_extension_capabilities` setting.
This setting is a list of the capabilities granted to any extension
running in Zed.
The currently available capabilities are:
- `process:exec` - Grants extensions the ability to invoke commands
using
[`zed_extension_api::process::Command`](https://docs.rs/zed_extension_api/latest/zed_extension_api/process/struct.Command.html)
- `download_file` - Grants extensions the ability to download files
using
[`zed_extension_api::download_file`](https://docs.rs/zed_extension_api/latest/zed_extension_api/fn.download_file.html)
- `npm:install` - Grants extensions the ability to install npm packages
using
[`zed_extension_api::npm_install_package`](https://docs.rs/zed_extension_api/latest/zed_extension_api/fn.npm_install_package.html)
Each of these capabilities has parameters that can be used to customize
the permissions.
For instance, to only allow downloads from GitHub, the `download_file`
capability can specify an allowed `host`:
```json
[
{ "kind": "download_file", "host": "github.com", "path": ["**"] }
]
```
The same capability can also be granted multiple times with different
parameters to build up an allowlist:
```json
[
{ "kind": "download_file", "host": "github.com", "path": ["**"] },
{ "kind": "download_file", "host": "gitlab.com", "path": ["**"] }
]
```
When an extension is not granted a capability, the associated extension
APIs protected by that capability will fail.
For instance, trying to use `zed_extension_api::download_file` when the
`download_file` capability is not granted will result in an error that
will be surfaced by the extension:
```
Language server phpactor:
from extension "PHP" version 0.4.3: failed to download file: capability for download_file https://github.com/phpactor/phpactor/releases/download/2025.07.25.0/phpactor.phar is not granted by the extension host
```
Release Notes:
- Added a `granted_extension_capabilities` setting to control the
capabilities granted to extensions.
This PR starts the process of adding each setting field manually to
their respective page in the UI and organizes user/project fields as
well. The next major step is implementing a numeric stepper component,
and handling discriminate union enums as well.
I also did some minor polish in this PR as well
- Switches now use accent color
- Fixed text input rendering with zero width
- Made setting pages scrollable
- Set drop down context menu style to outline

Release Notes:
- When `helix_mode = true`, modes are called without the `HELIX_` prefix
in the UI:
`HELIX_NORMAL` becomes `NORMAL`
`HELIX_SELECT` becomes `SELECT`
- (breaking change) Helix users should remove `"default_mode":
"helix_normal"` from their settings. This is now the default when
`"helix_mode": true`.
Uses the previously merged denoising crate (and fixes a bug in it that
snug in during refactoring) to add denoising to the microphone input.
Adds automatic volume control for microphone and output.
Prepares for migrating to 16kHz SR mono:
The experimental audio path now picks the samplerate and channel count depending on a setting. It can handle incoming streams with both the current (future legacy) and new samplerate & channel count. These are url-encoded into the livekit track name

Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/38547
Release Notes:
- Reverted the ability to show/hide the titlebar. This caused rendering
bugs on
macOS, and we're preparing for the redesign which requires the toolbar
being present.

ordered in the same order that the user defined in their settings.
Release Notes:

In the settings refactor I'd assumed server settings were like project
settings. This is not the case, they are in fact the normal user
settings;
but just read from the server.

When we refactored settings to not pass JSON blobs around, we ended up
needing
to write *a lot* of code that just merged things (like json merge used
to do).
Use a derive macro to prevent typos in this logic.

Release Notes:
- settings: Major internal changes to settings. The primary user-facing
effect is that some settings which did not make sense in project
settings files are no-longer read from there. (For example the inline
blame settings)
