Hi,
I just installed the desktop client for Linux v4.4.0-rc1. I see that it disabled the system title bar and window borders. Could we make this optional? I’d like to see a setting somewhere to re-enable the standard window decorations.
Cheers.

Hi,
this is an issue for me to. Having a big fat toy-like windows 10 title bar is quite mess on non windows systems. What is the purpose of running alternate systems if we end up with the same dumb system interface ?
I use the “window shade” capability for window management, which has been completely lost with this newest implementation in v4.4. I agree with ilveroluca wholeheartedly that this should be an option. I’m also surprised that more people haven’t made the same request.

Hi, everyone.
I just want to make sure that I am getting the right idea here. Are you referring to this part of the desktop client (highlighted in red box)?
By the way, I had this tested on the following environment:
- Ubuntu 16.0.4
- Mattermost Server 5.23.0
- Mattermost Linux App 4.3.2
Hello, everyone.
Quick update. This is how it looks like on version 4.5.0.
Is this the title bar that you are discussing about?
Hi,
That’s it !
Here
You have normal windows w/ borders & menu actions (window always on top and always visible, on all virtual desktops), a shaded window w/ only its title bar and the mattermost desktop with my previously posted patch.
w/o frame, the application needs to add close/maximize and minimize buttons. Normally this is the task of the window manager to manage window decorations (title bar, borders, menus, …).
Having an option to enable / disable window frame would match all needs.
Regards,
Yann.
