GTK Title Bar - Remove Title Bar for non-GTK Software

  • This extension simply removes title bar on apps like Spotify and Qt5 apps when you maximize the windows for them.
  • Unlike Unite (another extension with similar functionality), this does not remove window buttons for GTK apps.
  • Makes the minimal change on your system's default behaviour.
  • Supports GNOME 3.32 and 3.34 (for 3.28-3.30 support use the versions 3 and below)
  • This work here is hardfork of unite-shell extension.

Dependencies

  • xprop should come preinstalled with your system, if not, you should install it.
