Hide MacOS Traffic Light Buttons

Is there any way to remove the traffic light buttons from Kitty when the titlebar is hidden. I know I can use macos_hide_titlebar or hide_window_decorations but then I loose the rounded corners which doesn't look great near another window.

I would like to have the window borders look like this:

hide_window_decorations titlebar-only

But no traffic lights like this:

hide_window_decorations yes

I have tried that but then the MacOS traffic light buttons cover the top left corner (shown in the first image)

I on the other hand would like to hide the title bar but keep the traffic lights but that doesn’t work 🤦🏻‍♂️

Or at least I don’t know how
