Doesn't work with GNOME Terminal in Wayland session

[anupam207]

Title bar doesn't go away if I maximize GNOME Terminal in Wayland session. I noticed this for Terminal, but I think it happens with all the windows running in Wayland. Windows running in XWayland, for example Firefox, seem to behave as expected.

Distro: Ubuntu GNOME 17.04, shell version 3.24.2

Hi, thanks for taking the time of opening an issue!

In this case, unfortunately there is nothing I can do. This extension only works on X and on XWayland windows. Since GNOME terminal runs natively on Wayland, I can't remove the title bar.

Note that this is not a problem with the extension, or something I can fix, it simply can't be done with an extension.

For more info you can look at this issue #19.

Sorry! And cheers!

No problem. Thanks for your quick reply. Strange to see Terminal not using client side decoration like other GNOME apps. Hope they'll fix it soon.

Indeed, I'd like that too!

I got this working on Wayland with the latest version from git. Would you mind testing it?

@franglais125 I've moved back to Xorg as so many things were not working with Wayland :( I'll test the new version as soon as I start trying Wayland again. But can't promise it'll be very soon :(

As of today, on a fresh gnome 3.26 install, gnome-terminal's borders do not get removed on Wayland.
edit: I wasn't using the the git version :S. I can confirm that this extension works for gnome-terminal in Wayland. However, it requried a relogin for it to take effect.

@morphheus great to know that it works for you :). And yes, a relogin is necessary.
