How to remove window decorations in Cinnamon / Muffin?
Solution 1:
Although it is true that you cannot disable window title bars, you can make them so small, that they are hardly visible. As I landed here via google, I post my solution though the thread is old as it might help others. You can edit
/usr/share/themes/Mint-X/metacity-1
and set all non-zero value
properties in the metacity-theme-1.xml
(of course you need sudo, to edit something there. A backup is useful.). Now select under Theme settings -> Other settings -> window borders another theme and reselect Mint-X
. Now the height of the title bar is determined by the title itself. Chose under Font settings font size 0 for the window title front and the title bar is almost gone.
Solution 2:
You cannot remove the Window title bar i.e the window decorations from cinnamon. Cinnamon depends on clutter and uses it to draw the window and decorations.
I believe, The cinnamon window manager cinnamonwm
get assigned dynamically during runtime.
This is a line from /usr/share/cinnamon/js/ui/main.js
let cinnamonwm = global.window_manager;
So, I believe you cannot do this yet on Cinnamon. And I'm not going to get the bounty ;
