A few years ago, some KDE developers invested quite some time in concepts of creating a CSD/SSD hybrid titled DWD, marrying up the best of both worlds. Unfortunately it didn't gain any traction, but I still have hopes they'll tackle this again once all the Wayland work is mostly done.

It was a terrible idea, inventing a new GUI toolkit for the window manager the application would have to support (and that they couldn't use with others), instead of just allowing applications to draw in the title bar/have them do their own decoration.
