   After exiting from the quake mode terminal, I'm now seeing the old terminal's window outline still on my screen!

   Yea, this was a surprise to be sure. There's an API in Windows 11 that we can use to disable that feature fortunately, so we'll probably have that disabled by default for the _quake window

    Gotta say the rounded bottom corners are rather nice, but the top ones definitely look weird.

    That sounds like Issue #12121.

    _quake is still rounded for me when building from source.

    Setting DWMWINDOWATTRIBUTE::DWMWA_WINDOW_CORNER_PREFERENCE at the end of IslandWindow::MakeWindow removes the radius (for both top & bottom corners) on _quake for me:

    if (IsQuakeWindow())
    {
        DWM_WINDOW_CORNER_PREFERENCE preference = DWMWCP_DONOTROUND;
        DwmSetWindowAttribute(_window.get(),
                              DWMWA_WINDOW_CORNER_PREFERENCE,
                              &preference,
                              sizeof(preference));
    }

    Not sure if there's another path to _quake that avoids MakeWindow (_enterQuakeMode?), but if this is all that's needed I can PR it.
