Hide the titlebar

[bl4ckb0ne]

Hiding the titlebar is done via a workaround to set the font size to 0 (see #7092 and #7408)

Font size 0 should not be allowed, instead there should be a proper way to hide the titlebars done via the config file.

#7350, #6946, #5050 and #1286

I am at my limit, I have the 0.01 height bandaid. but I keep pressing it with my mouse if I am using chrome and jumping to another window that is behind.
I know this is not part of i3 but I could use sway befor they "fixed" it.

I'd love to do this on a per-client basis. Some clients already draw functional titlebars, so I'd want to disable titlebars for those specifically.

Given that this needs to be designed from scratch, does applying it on a per-client basis sound reasonable? The all-windows use case can be covered by simply:

for_window * titlebar hide

[rpigott]

The client can already indicate when they draw their own decorations with xdg_decoration. Only allowed for floating clients atm (otherwise we enforce ssd), though I don't remember why.

EDIT: tbh I'm not sure what the intended difference between border normal and border csd is right now anyway. We could probably be more permissive in allowing csd for single containers.

Setting the default_border as pixel 0 i was able to get rid of the title bar

I am running version 1.8.2 in void

[rpigott]

We restored this workaround in 1.8.2 until a proper feature is added.

A feature similar to smart_gaps would be great as well: smart_titlebar on would only show the titlebar when two or more windows are visible in a workspace.

not work for me.

currently the only way to get rid of titlebar is setting font:

font pango:monospace 0

please do not remove this setting until we can provide a solution for it, my workflow adheres with it.

You can do that with
hide_edge_borders --i3 smart

[hashworks]

Hm, that doesn't work for me. hide_edge_borders --i3 smart still shows a title bar even when only one tab is open. I guess I'll open a bug report later.

[ShalokShalom]

I have it with:

gaps outer 0
gaps inner 0
hide_edge_borders --i3 smart
workspace_layout tabbed

Thats the entire config, and it works for me ™️
