Add option to remove the title bar #7

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
This would take the minimalist approach to the extreme by leaving only the
terminal screen and the window border. Alternative ways to move or close
the window would be needed though.

Decided not to implement this after all. It looked nice enough when trying it, 
but
it's just not worth the usability problems of not being able to easily move,
minimize, or close the window.

Here's an idea for making this usable: hide the titlebar unless the mouse is 
moving
in the window, as previously seen in Windows Media Player.

Not quite as straightforward as it first seemed, because the window needs to be
repositioned to account for the missing titlebar.

another option is to not care about the move/resize/minimize stuff.. some 
people just 
throw up terminals on a desktop and never move/resize/minimize them. i 
personally have 
a grid of terminals that I'd rather do without borders/titles on.

You may not care about that stuff, but others would, and I can do without the
resulting complaints. And anyway, I'd expect you can remove the window 
furniture with
with AutoHotKey.

Alt-Space triggers the menu for move/resize/minimize. Hooking Alt-Space for 
this purpose is worth imho.

Alt-Space is a standard Windows shortcut, and there already is an option to 
have it
sent to the application instead, because some apps do use it. I still think 
automatic
hiding and showing of the titlebar depending on mouse and keyboard activity is 
the
best way to go here, with a default-off option for enabling it. Just need to get
round to it ...

Would give anything for the ability to hide the title bar/a "borderless" mode. 
Can easily enough move and resize windows within Windows, a title bar isn't a 
necessity. As for people who would be upset at not being able to easily move 
the window, I can only imagine that the types who would run mintty in such a 
manner are already smart enough/already know how to accomplish moving/resizing 
windows. Right now that pesky title bar is the only thing keeping me from using 
mintty over console2 and conemu.

It sounds like you have an implementation already. How about releasing it as an 
option so people that want it and can deal with the complications can use it?

I know this is an old issue, but it would be a really nice feature to have.

As a suggestion, how about just adding an option in the command line (such as 
"-b --borderless") and as a checkbox in the options menu (will still be 
accessible through right-click -> Options -> Window)? Alternatively, or in 
addition, Ctrl+Alt+F11 or Shift+Alt+F11 could be used as they don't do anything 
yet, and removing borders and the title bar is somewhat related to the full 
screen option of F11.
