Linux: native window controls overlap app header icons #18

Description

Summary

The native window controls overlap with Codex UI icons in the top-right area of the Linux app window.

Environment

  • OS: Ubuntu/Linux
  • App: am-will/codex-app Linux build
  • Window mode: normal desktop window

Behavior

In the top-right corner, the app UI icons are rendered under or too close to the native window control area. As a result, the controls/icons visually overlap.

From the screenshot, the issue appears around this area:

  • app dropdown/icon button on the left;
  • native minimize/maximize/close buttons on the right;
  • dark titlebar/control region overlaps the app header controls.

Expected behavior

The app header should reserve enough right-side inset/padding for native window controls, so Codex UI icons do not overlap or sit underneath the window buttons.

Suggested fix

Add Linux-specific titlebar/window-controls safe area padding or adjust the draggable/titlebar region so header controls are laid out outside the native window controls area.
