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

Martin W-1 year ago

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?

Martin W-1 year ago

Commented out "onWindowAdded" and "onChangeNWorkspaces" as well to get my desired behavior.

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.

Anton Danilov-1 year ago

In the ignore list you can write wildcard for any application ```.+```. In this case you will have ability to undecorate window with hotkey. I think the whitelist isn't higly demand.

oponkork-1 year ago

What's the wild card? I tried the following ```.+``` * .+

Anton Danilov-1 year ago

Sorry. The parser doesn't implement the markdown syntax. Yes, .+ is enough to achieve what you want.

oponkork-1 year ago

Got it, had to reload the extension after using .+

petulko11-1 year ago

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

Anton Danilov-1 year ago

What do you mean? I'm not sure I've understood you correctly. Personally, I don't use these buttons, because prefer the keyboard shortcuts (you can set the most suitable combinations for you in `Preferences`->`Keyboard` dialog, tab `Shortcuts`, category `Windows`).

Metafarion-2 years ago

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

https://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com-2 years ago

It's suggested what the extension functionality is so intuivity, so the documentation is unnecessary.

Howard-1 year ago

I loaded it. Could not see that it did anything at all. So unloaded it.

Matthew Stephens-2 years ago

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

pje900-2 years ago

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

Rubem Pacelli-2 years ago

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

GeorgeKalovyrnas-2 years ago

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

Hm-2 years ago

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

https://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com-2 years ago

I've done the new version of extension with that functionality.

Maxcrazy1-1 year ago

I see the border where the window buttons were, only now they don't have anything, it looks like a black stripe, that will have an update or the problem is my configuration?

Anton Danilov-1 year ago

Can you share the screenshot? What version of cinnamon do you use?

Anton Danilov-2 years ago

I will think how to implement this behaviour.

George-2 years ago

i love it

luis hasbon-2 years ago

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

Juan-Lutz-2 years ago

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

minyaen-2 years ago

Getting the same alert

Anton Danilov-2 years ago

Try it again. The last version has been placed a day ago. The alert should not been displayed anymore.

luis hasbon-2 years ago

but is it working for you?

Ventsislav Radev-3 years ago

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

Nikolay Basov-3 years ago

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; ---

Andrew Palmer-3 years ago

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!

piyushgarg-3 years ago

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

rcrx-3 years ago

Indispensable. Thank you.

M Arafat-4 years ago

Michal J.-4 years ago

Don't work in Mint 18.3 :(

Peter Oluwaseyi-4 years ago

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

hard13-4 years ago

Just edit ~/.local/share/cinnamon/extensions/cinnamon-maximus@fmete/metadata.json and add line "3.6"

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

MarioFlying-4 years ago

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?

MarioFlying-4 years ago

Ok, I solved by using Devil's Pie 2 . As found in a comment on a Opera Blog old entry: ----- use a windows matching utility like Devil's Pie 2 to strip the titlebar. Install devilspie2 and create a file called ~/.config/devilspie2/opera.lua containing the following: if (get_window_class()=="Opera") then undecorate_window(); end ----- It works.

Baron Leonardo-4 years ago

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

Luis Felipe Sánchez-Escobar Retamar-4 years ago

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 :)

Exitr-4 years ago

184 no longer exists (I posted a github link), but works fine for me on 18.2 as well.

Aprianto Nursetiawan-4 years ago

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?

Peter Engeldinger-4 years ago

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