Hello,

I am experiencing an issue with the title bar appearance when using JetBrains IDEA on WSLg. Unlike native Linux desktop environments such as GNOME or KDE, where IDEA integrates the window control buttons into the title bar (similar to the Chrome browser), WSLg displays a separate, unattractive title bar.

This discrepancy affects the overall aesthetic and usability of the application. I am unsure whether this is a limitation within WSLg or if there is a configuration setting that can resolve this issue.

Could you please provide guidance on how to disable or modify the title bar to achieve the integrated look found in native Linux environments? Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

This is how it appears on GNOME, where everything is integrated into a single unit.

This is because WSLG uses Weston as a Compositor, So you need to modify the Weston source code

Of course, using only Jetbrains Tool, you can try Jetbrains Toolbox Remote by SSH
