FramelessHelper 2.0

Highlights compared to 1.x

• Windows: Gained the ability to only remove the title bar but preserve the window frame at the same time.
• Windows: Support the maximize button docking feature introduced in Windows 11.
• Windows: The flicker and jitter during window resizing is completely gone.
• Windows: The system menu will be opened if you right-click on your custom title bar.
• Windows: Replaced Qt's original system menu with FramelessHelper's homemade one, which looks a lot better than the original one.
• Linux: Removed the limitation of the Qt version. The minimum supported version is lowered to Qt 5.6 now (previously was 5.15).
• macOS: Removed the limitation of the Qt version. The minimum supported version is lowered to Qt 5.6 now (previously was 5.15).
• macOS: The frameless window now supports native resizing.
• Common: Almost completely rewritten of the whole library, it's now a lot more easier to setup your own custom title bar than before.
• Common: Added many more helper functions to allow creating your own custom window easier.
• Misc: Reorganized the project structure to be more like a modern library, it's now a lot more friendly to the library users.
• Misc: Many bugs from the 1.x times are fixed (they were not fixable in 1.x due to technical reasons).
