Hide titlebar without full screen?

Post by Tiffany »

When I uncheck "titlebar" in view it puts the program into full screen. Is there any way to hide the titlebar while not going full screen and just retaining the window sizing?

Not for me in the viewer or browser, could there be a setting that is set differently for you?

It's more likely because you're on Linux & I'm on Windows 10 tbh.

I've had another look, and in the viewer or browser unchecking View > Titlebar maximises the window: the menu, toolbar and status bar are still displayed, which wouldn't be the case in fullscreen...

So the issue can only be reproduced when the window isn't maximised.

There does seem to be a bug. :bug:

I'm on Windows 10 so I cannot reproduce your problem, Tiffany. But my guess is also that this is an issue/problem on Linux.

I'm not a programmer but my guess is that this is a logical limitation of windows used in a graphical user interface like MS Windows:
A window without a title screen doesn't make much sense because without title bar you cannot resize, maximize, minimize, or close a window. And you wouldn't even know which window belongs to which application if you had several non-maximized windows without title bar opened. So I guess this is the reason why MS Windows ensures that if an application wants to get rid of its title bar this application must be set to fullscreen.
