Hiding the window title and favicon
SeriousM opened this issue · 5 comments
Is that an option you would accept in a PR?
Could you clarify this a bit? Do you mean hiding the label for the window title or the entire title bar?
Also, do you have a specific use case in mind that would benefit from this?
Thanks!
Well, when I watch netflix and minimize the window, not everyone should know what I'm looking at during the day.
I think there are three ways to achieve this privacy:
- Override the title with something (including "")
- Hide the titlebar text
- Hide the titlebar at all
The last one would be tricky because the close and minimize buttons are gone.
Seems like a solid use case! 👍
I looked into it a bit further; unfortunately it looks like this would be pretty difficult to achieve with the current implementation. Since panels work using Chrome’s panel window type, the extension can’t actually modify their look or behaviour.
Changing the tab’s title to an empty/blank string could work, but this would require injecting a content script onto the page. Currently the extension doesn’t have permission to do that.
All’s not lost, though. I’ve been working on a new implementation that doesn’t use the panel window type, since Chrome will eventually deprecate it. If you check out #43, you can see that I now have control over the entire panel.
This change would be trivial with the new panels. I could then release this with version 2.0.
Wow, thats awesome!
Thanks for seeing my point :)
In this case, the hiding of the favicon (which is currently an open point) would be necessary as well.
Is there something I can help you with?
I have little spare time but be a professional developer for 14 years now.

Hey, sorry for the delay, I’ve been incredibly busy lately. Bad news but I hope you understand: due to the recent changes in Chrome I’ve decided to stop maintaining Panel Tabs. I’ve written a more thorough blog post with details, please check it out here. Thanks for the support along the way!
