Firefox window decoration?

[timonoj]

Hi, I reckon this has been asked several times, but I couldn't find anything on it. I saw something very related, the KDE support thread, but I think it's not the same. I would like to have the Firefox window title to disappear as in Windows. That is, the Firefox menu on the left would be the highest thing on the window, without having the extra bar with the window title and the minimize-maximize-close buttons. Is this possible? Basically this setup right now is taking an extra line of web space, and I find it a bit annoying.

Thank you!

I think maby if you try right click the title bar>advanced>special window settings>appearance and fixes you may find what your after.

I've achieved what you're wanting to do by installing the Oxygen-KDE add-on for Firefox, then following the instructions in chrome://oxygenkdeoptions/content/page/exceptionsguide.html

Note: as you might expect, that "chrome://" link won't exist until after you've installed the add-on.

You don't actually need Oxygen-KDE to get rid of the title bar, but if you want to have buttons for minimise, maximise/restore and close, then you'll need the add-on. Following the instructions also keeps the window border at the sides and bottom available when the window isn't maximised, so you still have 'grab areas' for easy resizing of the window.

As a bonus, Oxygen-KDE improves Firefox's visual integration with KDE's Oxygen theme.

Thank you VINNY, but I never knew how to make the title bar disappear while keeping the window buttons.

Great HalationEffect, that definitely worked! It looks neat now. The stile is a bit more rudimentary than windows (looks a bit thicker), but definitely a vast improvement, and now I have extra web space. Thank you very much!

Glad to have been of help

In these days of wide-screen monitors and the many non-dynamic websites that don't take them into account, getting the most vertical space possible is a definite plus. BTW - have you considered setting your bottom panel to auto hide, for even more vertical space?

Of course, for the ultimate in maximising vertical space, hit F11 to make Firefox go full screen.

Yeah, but after some testing, the autohide option ends up annoying me more than helping. Thank you very much!
