How to hide title bar for a specific window?
Title bars / window decorations are usually specific to the window manager in use. GNOME doesn't support a built-in method to launch a window/program without decorations, unlike window managers such as Openbox.
A solution that works within GTK across any window manager is to use GTK's gtk_window_set_decorated()
, with more information here.
Here's a non-programmatic solution that's at the X11 level, and needs only the x11-utils
package, that's part of almost all distributions :
xprop -name 'Your window name' -format _MOTIF_WM_HINTS 32c -set _MOTIF_WM_HINTS 2
If you omit the -name
option, you will have to click the window whose title bar you want removed. You can also specify the window ID instead, with the -id
option.
EDIT : My bad, the correct type of the _MOTIF_WM_HINTS
property is 32-bit cardinal (i.e. unsigned integer, 32c), not 32-bit integer (32i), I changed the command line accordingly.
