How to allways see the close/minimize/maximize buttons

This issue is answered multiple times in the forum.
Default Garuda dragonized (forgive my bad spelling :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: ) configuration uses Latte dock/panels instead of default Plasma panels (no Plasma panel exists by default).
There is a Latte Top Panel, that includes a plasmoid called Window Buttons, which (by default) is visible when there is an active maximized window, showing a clone of the respective window buttons, while it is hidden when the active window is Unmaximized.
This requires a kWin setting in $HOME/.config/kwinrc

[Windows]
BorderlessMaximizedWindows=true

If you want to not use this feature, you can (preferably) disable it in Latte Configuration settings, by un-ticking the relevant checkbox and re-login.
To configure how the “Window Buttons” behave, use Latte (Top) panel Edit mode and select this plasmoid settings to edit, or delete it if you don’t need it.

I guess I should post this in FAQ and Tutorials :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
