The GTK header bar widget replaces the title bar. It's possible to
enable the minimize/maximize buttons for it, and it does respect
whatever theme you're using. It's intended to save vertical space by
making a separate menu/toolbar unnecessary. There are some window
managers not implementing EWMH properly (Xfce's window manager) and you
will get a redundant title bar on top of the header bar.

You can blame Chromium/Chrome and Firefox for making this popular. I
happen to think it's a good idea, although as a user of i3 it has little
to no impact on me.
