Hi Do you mean all windows without title bar like with gnome3 ?

Actually there are 2 horizontal bars: one for the window title & buttons, one for application menu. Like with gnome 3 (I think), window buttons could be on left or right of the application menu to save vertical space.

Hi I mean one specified chosen window like in ... openbox.

It`s all about the horizontal bar for the window title & buttons.

It would be great to have such functionality, if you please marcoScreenshot_2021-05-19_02-21-05 :

A fullscreen window of course is undecorated by definition, and many of the (heavier) compositing window managers such as Compiz, Mutter, Cinnamon etc offer an option also to unredirect them (render straght to screen presumably) and save resources. A MAXIMIZED window if undecorated becomes a de facto fullscreen window but can be different in code. As I recall this has generated some issues from time to time with unmaximizing such windows-and probably in many window managers

Hi, I like the idea to keep window control buttons to help unadvanced users, but place them at menu level to save vertical space like in 2) or 3) in this picture: image

I REALLY don't see us rewriting Marco or the (hard to work with) metacity themes for vertical space reduction. Dissatisfaction with the way GNOME went about this drives a lot of folks to use MATE in the first place, so such UI changes are out of the question.

so such UI changes are out of the question.

Thanks for your really clear answer :-)

MATE desktop is really great, i still use it for a long. Thanks a lot for this nice job <3

Perhaps this issue could be closed ;-)
