To figure out what we would expect, I started with gathering some data. The following table shows the button states of system-decorated windows on various platforms:

The code looks good. I submitted a set of headful test jobs and will report when done. I want to do a little light manual testing, especially on macOS where there are a few changes in the non-extended case (although the code looks equivalent).

Good. It definitely seems cleaner to pass in resizable as a parameter rather than having this method be a "toggle" resizable as it was previously.

I presume you removed the `performSelectorOnMainThread` because the calling method always calls this on the main thread?
