Hey @rolaca11, for flatpak apps check this https://github.com/hardpixel/unite-shell/issues/303#issuecomment-1193269456

[rolaca11]

ohh looks like I made a mistake. IntelliJ isn't a flatpak app on my system and still is unaffected

[jonian]

How did you install IntelliJ? I have installed Fedora 38 in gnome-boxes and it has only flatpak version. Please provide the output of xprop for the IntelliJ window (type xprop in a terminal and then click on the IntelliJ window).

[emko]

yea same for me, i am on fedora 38 gnome 44 and both flatpak or native apps title bar always shows, on 43 it worked perfect

[rolaca11]

Looks like I don't have the problem anymore in Ubuntu 23.04

[Barugon]

Having the same issue with Fedora 38.

same issue on 23.04

here is syslog:

[jonian]

I can't replicate the issue on Gnome 44 on arch linux, fedora 38 or ubuntu 23.04.

[Barugon]

Version 71 update fixed it for me.

[Neo-29]

not working here on archlinux

Only works with gtk3apps

[denis3509]

On the picture you can see that every setting has label "schema not found"

This fixed it for me:

1. Uninstall extension
2. Remove the unite settings keys using desktop config editor
3. Install extension again

[wengole]

I too am having this issue, although it's working for maximised windows, but nothing else

[emko]

was working on 44 up until today, not sure what changed but all my windows have title bars now :(

[wep777]

This fixed it for me:

1. Uninstall extension
2. Remove the unite settings keys using desktop config editor
3. Install extension again

thanks it helped

Tried this, but dconf always shows "Schema not found" and apps like vscode and slack have titlebars. Fedora 38/GNOME 44.1.

For the record, I also tried the Flatpak fix mentioned.

[Barugon]

I installed this on my notebook but it won't let me enable the plugin. Strangely, the title bar is hidden even without having the plugin enabled (which is wrong) but other features don't work (like having the window buttons in the top bar).

[cwells]

For those scrambling for a solution, I installed

https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4630/no-titlebar-when-maximized/

and this fixed the issue for me, although, as the name suggests, it's not as configurable as Unite.

Not working for me, at least on Wayland. And unfortunately, not even Unite...

[hyperair]

This was working for me on 44.0, but it stopped working on 44.1. Checking with xprop, it looks like _MOTIF_WM_HINTS is being set correctly to 0x2, 0x0, 0x2, 0x0, 0x0, but gnome-shell seems to be ignoring that hint now.

Taking a hint from https://github.com/velitasali/gtktitlebar/issues/36#issuecomment-1455278899, I tried changing _HIDE_FLAGS like so. Now window decorations disappear, but don't come back. :confused:

[olivertzeng]

same issue

[Lcchy]

Same for me, but the proposed PR (https://github.com/hardpixel/unite-shell/pull/334) by @hyperair fixed it for me, thanks!

[cwells]

Mine's been working fine since some recent update (I think GNOME, not Unite).

[jonian]

Gnome has broken backwards compatibility for extensions. This extension now supports only gnome 45.

[koppor]

IntelliJ still shows the window title bar with v77

Should I open a new issue?

[Neo-29]

It never worked since gnome 45... At least on Wayland. And as far as it's the future.. I don't know how it can be solved.

Edit : I was wrong. Working perfectly even on Wayland now 👍

[koppor]

I played around with other configuration options, restarted IntelliJ. And now it works great!

Great suff :)
