does not work with cinnamon 6.2.7. Does anyone know an alternative?

Working (mostly) fine in a fresh install of 6.2.9.... Except for an issue with various window types causing double borders https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-spices-extensions/issues/460

works surprisingly well (makes it possible to run windows programs nearly native - by hiding the virtual box maximized window titlebar) on my Linux Mint 21.1 Cinnamon v5.6.8.

I am a fool. I needed to enable it in extensions by hitting the +, i see there is a whole gui with settings, thank you very much that is more than enough.

Hello and thanks for this. Works great now on LMUE 21.1 Cinnamon 5.6.8 Only started to use it together with another applet called "Window Buttons With Title 2" ("removed, unmaintained and zero scored", however I can confirm its working great so far.) - which I feel unleashes the true power and potential of Cinnamon Maximus. I think this info could be useful here in case somebody is interested, since it is not very easy to find but makes them both Cinnamon Maximus and "Window Buttons With Title 2" a true gem. They just complement each other beautifully together with Smart Panel - its a clean, polished UX I do not want to lose ever again. For people intertested, I will just leave these two links here: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=272206 https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-spices-applets/issues/1877 BR

Works great most of the time (not with Chrome apps), and it DEFINITELY needs a README and instructions on how to grab "app names" and etc. This seems to be made for geeks and devs, not end-users, as shown in some other comments complaining about the lack of instructions. Other than that, it's definitely a savior of screen real estate :)

At first, I did not know what exactly this was "undecorating" as there is no explanation anywhere as to the exact intention of this extension. At first I did not see anything as there are ZERO instructions on how to make it do anything. Then I discovered a keyboard short cut--which is supposed to be "Experimental" (clearly, not related to core functionality), and I found that on certain windows, it makes the title bar disappear! Who would have known! Amazing! So it takes some detective work on why exactly you would want this (not exactly great marketing) but once you know, it can be useful to make the title bar disappear.

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?
Martin W

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
Anton Danilov-4 years 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
oponkork-4 years ago
What's the wild card? I tried the following ```.+``` * .+
Anton Danilov
Anton Danilov-4 years ago
Sorry. The parser doesn't implement the markdown syntax. Yes, .+ is enough to achieve what you want.

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

Anton Danilov
Anton Danilov-4 years 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`).

Am I missing something, or is there no documentation anywhere of how this extension is supposed to work?
It's suggested what the extension functionality is so intuivity, so the documentation is unnecessary.

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?

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!

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
MarioFlying-7 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.
