foldable window header idea

Here are similar mockups for PSP Pianoverb:

What do you guys think about this solution?

Looks great to me

I second Mr. Semper's emotion, great idea and quick work! Seems like all devs put their resize arrows in the right corner, right where I can't reach it. And some devs have their own top toolbar, and when added to the Mulab bar it can be a bit much.
So yeah, go for it Jo! (If it's not much bother)

I think I'd rather have all the window controls together - top right for Windows, top left for MacOS. Cuts down on the number of places to look for things. The "unfold" certainly feels at home with "minimize", for example. As you can see in PianoVerb, its own menu is on the right, too, so finding the Settings tools above for MuLab seems right, too (from a Windows user perspective). (And "enable" is a "setting" that's just exposed visibly, really...)

That would result in (too) many window buttons together:

Personally i prefer the standard window buttons at the right side on Windows and at the left side on Mac, and the folded buttons on the other side, cfr previous mockups.

Split them as the original mockups. Too many buttons together imo if lumped to one side.

Here is a first beta version with the foldable top controls:
