No Title Bar

An extension for GNOME Shell that merges the activity bar and the title bar of maximized windows.

Install From Source

make install
gnome-extensions enable no-title-bar@jonaspoehler.de

Restart GNOME Shell by pressing Alt+F2 and entering r. Note: GNOME Shell under Wayland doesn't support restarting, so you might need to login again instead.

Dependencies

This extension depends on Xorg's xprop and xwininfo utilities. If not already present on your system, these can be installed using:

• Debian/Ubuntu: apt install x11-utils
• Fedora/RHEL: dnf install xorg-x11-utils
• Arch: pacman -S xorg-xprop
