Minimalist browsers (uzbl, dwb, luakit, qutebrowser, etc.) come close.

Some Android Lollipop apps have this. Now, forget the fact that in Android focus is the same thing as maximised and think the good-old desktop way: Apps spawn windows with ordinary decorations, but instead of toolbars and menus you operate the app by means of a few floating buttons in this or that corner of the window. Imagine the power of keybinds + one or two strategic floating buttons.I haven't seen anything like this on desktop yet.

That's why they are implemented only as part of the latest Android interface guidelines, not anywhere in desktop apps. But it's an interesting idea to provide a second interface to a program, an interface consisting of floating buttons. Kind of like VLC does, several toolbar setups to choose from plus keybind to drop all toolbars. There could be an option to toggle between toolbars and floating buttons.
Re: Browser With Floated UI Reply #7 – 2016-03-26, 16:58:35 This is what a floating button looks like. I remember they were not there when I used Android 2. I skipped other Androids meanwhile, so I don't know when they appeared. On Android 5 many apps have them. Some have options to switch them off. My default Sony Xperia media apps make more extensive use of the float capability than just a button. For example, when playing a video, I can switch away from it to the list of media files, but the video would keep playing as a little floating rectangle in the corner. Tapping the rectangle would maximise (fullscreen) it again, wiping it behind the edge would close it.Not sure yet about the usability of these things in an app other than handheld touchscreen fully maximised... 1 Likes
