Cinnamon Maximus

I have prepared fix for Linux Mint 21 beta, if anybody is interested: https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-spices-extensions/pull/392

It does not work on Linux Mint 21 beta: info t=2022-07-14T19:46:07Z [maximus] startUndecorating error t=2022-07-14T19:46:07Z [Error: No signal 'maximize' on object 'CinnamonWM']: Failed to evaluate 'enable' function on extension: cinnamon-maximus@fmete error t=2022-07-14T19:46:07Z [cinnamon-maximus@fmete]: Extension cinnamon-maximus@fmete: Could not create extension object. [cinnamon-maximus@fmete]: Error importing extension.js from cinnamon-maximus@fmete

can you please add a way to undecorate the borders as well ?

Hi! Great extension! Could you add a setting to turn off automatic undecorating/decorating when maximizing/restoring window? In my use-case I want to do it manually only. I commented out the content of functions "onMaximize" and "onUnmaximize" to get this behavior for now and it works great, but a settings switch would be nice :-) Also, I could not get the ignore list to work. I added firefox so content of ignored apps had "chromium,firefox" and turned on to use the ignore list. It did not work, even after restarting Cinnamon?

This extension now works good on Linux Mint 19.3, but with an added twist when undecorating (with a hotkey) windows. When undecorating it removes the titlebar etc, but also adds a quite annoying border around the window that cannot be removed afaik. How to fix this, please?

Hi, similar to what other user reported, I also get a black stripe across the screen whenever a program extends for the whole width of the screen (e.g. maximised, or when tiled to the upper half or bottom half). See below: https://i.postimg.cc/LsB5rj5S/Screenshot-from-2020-10-07-11-55-38.png https://i.postimg.cc/Twd1Gh5D/Screenshot-from-2020-10-07-11-55-51.png https://i.postimg.cc/FKtGPXdq/Screenshot-from-2020-10-07-11-57-35.png Strangely enough, this does not happen when a program extends just part of the width of the screen: https://i.postimg.cc/XJsJv39D/Screenshot-from-2020-10-07-11-56-02.png https://i.postimg.cc/tJ7gZf5R/Screenshot-from-2020-10-07-11-56-07.png My Cinnamon version is 3.6.7.

Can you please add a mode in which the extension does not undecorate any window. So the only way to undecorate a window is to use the hotkey or a whitelist.

thank you for excelent extension. Please send me link for minimise/maximise/close buttons/windows name applet thats working in Mint 20. Thank you!

Am I missing something, or is there no documentation anywhere of how this extension is supposed to work?

Just got a computer with Linux Mint and confused to all ....... Sorry guys I'm working on it..

Hi, thank you for this extension! How do I add window controls to the top panel?

It's don't work for Linux Mint 19.3!!!

It's not working on 19.2 Is there any way to get it running?

nice extension! i want to use a command to toggle Undecorate(to bind a key >_<) would it be comming that?

i love it

is not working on 19.2, configuration is blocked, has an alert. Restarted not working still.

It has an alert message for possible crashes under LM 19.2 Cinnamon !!

Absolutely great extension. Been using it more than 4 years, didn't notice any problems. Makes screen viewport windows look much better.

Really indispensable extension. Love it! Anyone who need "Undecorate when tile" option to work, just replace line 102 in ~/.local/share/cinnamon/extensions/cinnamon-maximus@fmete/extension.js with following (without ---): --- let maxID = null, minID = null, settingsChangedID = null, changeWorkspaceID = null, grabID = null, tileID = null; ---

This extension really helps to making my old Thinkpad with 1600x900 resolution screen a pleasure to use. First I set up the taskbar to be on the side of the screen, but I still didn't really have enough vertical space, so I gave Cinnammon Maximus a try and it solved my problem! Note that when enabling the extension I did get a warning that it is not compatible with my version of Cinnammon (3.8 in Linux Mint 19), but it seems to work fine. The entire title bar, including buttons to minimise and close windows are hidden, but if you just remember that alt+f10 toggles maximise, you can get the bar back easily. Great little extension!

Works!! on Linux Mint 19 Tara (Cinnamon) as well by changing the metadata.json as mentioned by @hard13

Indispensable. Thank you.

How to disable the effect? It maximized nemo file browser, now i want the control icons back what should i do?

Doesn't work with Mint 18.3! Please fix it. I really like(d) the extension!

Don't work in Mint 18.3 :(

Incompatible to Cinnamon 3.6.6 (Linux Mint 18.3) Please update soon.

Window button applet is available here: https://github.com/fatihmete/window-buttons-with-title

I tried some combinations but just couldn't use this extension to only hide titlebars in one single application (Opera Browser). Can Cinnamon Maximus be used for this purpose?

Where did u get the window-control buttons plugin, I can't find it ?

Perfect! i think this should be an option in core preferences. Thank you!

@Aprianto Nursetiawan: Use applet(s) like https://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/applets/view/184 @Peter Engeldinger: Works fine with me on Linux Mint 18.2, Cinnamon 3.4.6 :)

The title bar is gone indeed but so does the window control.. How to get the window control in top panel just like in the screenshot?

Great extension, but unfortunately doesnt work under Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya, Cinnamon 3.4.4
