Do you btw ever use the pill button in the top right corner of the
window? Just curious.

Personally, I don't. However, if the goal is to keep the theme
consistent with skins from other Mac apps, it should be retained.
I was curious because the functionality is almost the same as a
toolbargrippie.
Apple's Human Interface Guidelines refer to the "pill" as the Toolbar
Control. To be fully compliant, this button is a show/hide control for
toolbars that are incorporated into the TOP of the window frame only and
be accompanied by a View/Show(Hide) Toolbar menu command plus a keyboard
equivalent of cm+opt+T.
Many apps take liberties with this guideline. For example, Safari
doesn't have one although there is the menu equivalent View/Show(Hide)
Toolbar command and a keyboard equivalent of cmd+|. Opera doesn't have
one but has a View/Main Bar command but no keyboard equivlent. iTunes
has neither.
The Finder is compliant with all three. In addition there is an escape
for toolbar customization when the pill is clicked with option+cmd keys.
Acrobat Professional goes to the extreme and uses it for global
show/hide control of all active toolbars plus a View/Toolbars/Show(Hide)
Toolbars menu command and a keyboard equivalent of F8. As all Acrobat
menus are drag-and-drop, there are individual toolbar grippies.
Compliance in this implementation depends on whether one considers
drag-and-drop toolbars as part of the top window frame when parked
there. There's no mention of drag-and-drop menus in the HIG.
