Doesn't affect gnome-terminal

Hi! Thanks for reporting this. You are most likely using the Wayland session... Unfortunately, we can't remove the titlebars on Wayland. The reason Firefox and Thunderbird work is because they are not native Wayland clients, and work through XWayland.

If you feel like installing the latest code from git, I've added a css class that takes care of this problem for some apps in Wayland, but there is only so much we can do.

Can you confirm this? Are you on Wayland?

Yes, I've just upgraded to Ubuntu 17.10 which uses Wayland.

If you feel like it, you can test the code directly from git, which has a few more commits not yet released to extensions.gnome.org.

Some feedback on that would be great.

Would you have any instructions on how to do that for someone who only started using Gnome extensions a few hours ago?

[franglais125]

Sure, here it is:

git clone https://github.com/franglais125/no-title-bar
cd no-title-bar
make install

Log out and log in again. You might need to install a few things:

sudo apt install make git gettext

Thank you, that works. Do you have any plans to include this feature in the official release?

[franglais125]

Yes! The problem I have now is that I can't selectively apply the css classes, it's either all or nothing, so some options in the GUI are useless.

I want to see how to deal with this first.

Now the Ubuntu 17.10 is out (Wayland + drop Unity) I believe this is a great time for "No Title Bar" to gain popularity. People want all the space they can get, especially on small screens.

Did you consider making a note regarding Wayland on the extension's page?

Great work, thanks for the extension.

@szuliq Thanks for the feedback! I now added a note concerning Wayland support.

A new version was uploaded and is awaiting review. I'll close this issue now.

Thanks everyone!
