Title bar functionality lost in some Fluent Apps

As the subject title suggests, I have included a couple of screenshots that show the problem which significantly reduced the functionality of some UWP fluent apps (have not seen this with Win32, yet).

This shows the Windows Mail/Calendar app with and without a curtains theme applied and you can see the back button which sits on the title bar is not accessible. In this case, the user simply cannot us the pop out feature at all, to return to the main windows without closing the app fully and restarting.

Without the theme as normal, below ...

Interesting. Thanks for reporting.

I imagine the escape button might return you, but we can look into this further so the back button shows correctly.

As a workaround, if you go to settings in Curtains, press the pick which universal apps button you can either exclude a universal app, or adjust the combobox at the top to "Apply style to custom frames that are simple". This will ignore Calendar and similar apps.

Indeed, I'll try the workarounds for sure.

BTW, the escape button or the mouse back button (on a 5 button mouse) don't work on that app hence I felt the need to report

Due to the in beta version having a search field intersecting the titlebar, we are going to exclude Mail/Calendar from future versions of Curtains. Such a custom look can't look right with custom titlebars.
