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. To do that click on "Also affects distribution/package" at the top of the bug. ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1787288 Title: gnome-shell window title bar wastes space when maximized To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1787288/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
