[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1787288] Re: gnome-shell window title bar wastes space when maximized
Sounds like a good idea. But _GTK_HIDE_TITLEBAR_WHEN_MAXIMIZED would have do be done for each app separately. It's not something the shell does. So this bug is now closed for gnome-shell, and should be reopened with tasks for each affected application.

So here is the upstream answer: Window decorations are client-side on wayland, that means they are just another part of the application window the same way as the products you are viewing. We cannot tell what parts of the window are decorations, or whether there are in fact any decorations at all. It's entirely up to applications to adjust to window state changes if they desire. (In the X11 session, there is a _GTK_HIDE_TITLEBAR_WHEN_MAXIMIZED hint that applications can set, and you'll find extensions that apply that to any windows. But X11 is a legacy technology at this point, and we won't add any features based on that.) As Ubuntu 18.04 is a LTS release still using X11 for compatibility can the Ubuntu project please add the _GTK_HIDE_TITLEBAR_WHEN_MAXIMIZED hint as a toggle? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1787288 Title: gnome-shell window title bar wastes space when maximized Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Steps to reproduce Start Ubuntu Login to Unity Choose logoff Choose Ubuntu (which should have the label Gnome-hell) Note this is the only way to get Gnome-hell to start, starting it directly just shows a black screen and dumps you back to the greeter.

BTW> Workaround to the buttons on the right (which only makes sense for right to left languages ) was to install Gnome-tweak tool. In Left to Right languages having the buttons on the left means less mouse travel on high res screens to click the button.

See the screenshot 50px have been wasted here! On my 1280x1024 production screens for my business 50px is an extra line of text. Two if I use a smaller font.
