Description
When viewing an image in Codex Desktop on Windows, the image preview close button is placed in the top-right corner and overlaps the native window close button. This creates two overlapping X controls and makes it unclear which one will close the preview versus the application window.
Steps to reproduce
- Open Codex Desktop on Windows.
- Open an attached image in the image preview.
- Look at the top-right corner of the maximized window.
Expected behavior
The image preview close button should be offset from the native title-bar controls so both buttons remain visually distinct and easy to click.
Actual behavior
The preview close button and the native window close button overlap.
Environment
- Codex Desktop: 26.707.12708.0
- Windows 10 Pro, version 10.0.19045 (build 19045)
- App theme: dark
