So here is the upstream answer:
Window decorations are client-side on wayland, that means they are just another part of the application window the same way as the products you are viewing. We cannot tell what parts of the window are decorations, or whether there are in fact any decorations at all. It's entirely up to applications to adjust to window state changes if they desire. (In the X11 session, there is a _GTK_HIDE_TITLEBAR_WHEN_MAXIMIZED hint that applications can set, and you'll find extensions that apply that to any windows. But X11 is a legacy technology at this point, and we won't add any features based on that.) As Ubuntu 18.04 is a LTS release still using X11 for compatibility can the Ubuntu project please add the _GTK_HIDE_TITLEBAR_WHEN_MAXIMIZED hint as a toggle? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1787288 Title: gnome-shell window title bar wastes space when maximized To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1787288/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
