Centered mode should hide the title area

[isidorn]

The title area is noise and should die

fyi @joaomoreno

[isidorn]

The question is what to do if tabs are enabled. I say not hide. So only if tabs are not shown we hide the title area. ZenMode by default hidesTabs so I think it will behave nicely

[joaomoreno]

Here's what I think about tabs: they should take 100% of the workbench width. You might need a border-bottom line to make it look good. But IMO, only the editor itself should be of reduced width. Give it a try.

@joaomoreno if tabs are shown they take 100% of width so we are good.
@bpasero I looked at what it would mean for the editorGroupsControl to handle the fact that there is no titleControl, basically all code would need to handle the case that getTitleAreaControl can return undefined.
Also I would change this to be a getter.
Just mentioning in which direction I plan to go so fyi

Will not have cycles this milestone -> pushing to On Deck

Could someone take a look at this feature again? It would be greatly appreciated! :)

Would love this feature as well; it doesn't feel very distraction-free with the tab bar + a prominent dropshadow (which appears whenever you scroll down). It's also just pure noise if the tab bar is disabled, as it is by default in Zen Mode: it shows you the current tab filename, which you presumably already know, but not any other filenames — so what's the point?

Would also love to have the outline ruler disabled in Zen Mode, or at least have the option to disable it, but baby steps 😝 I just disable the outline ruler entirely anyway, 100% of the time (whether in Zen Mode or not), by setting vertical scrollbar width to 0.

One more bump for a really needed feature. There should be an option to remove it, since it takes up screen real estate, vertical screen real estate, which is very important on e.g. 14" laptops

the feature was already created - but sadly not implemented 😓

I'd rather had this feature as a toggle in the Appearance settings, rather than something bound to a particular layout mode. As it's been pointed out above, if the user switched tabs off in the settings, it was likely, they expected to recycle extra vertical space on the screen.

a prominent dropshadow (which appears whenever you scroll down)

Just wanted to highlight this from an earlier post -- the drop shadow that appears on scroll can be quite prominent and distracting depending on the theme. It would indeed be nice to have Zen mode eliminate this along with any titlebar/tabs.

[Jonatan-r]

Yup. Please make this work <3

[matjazbrilj]

Is this feature implemented yet?

[Zelmoghazy]

5 years later, please implement this
