Hi there,

I would like to get rid of the title-bars completely. I work mostly by workspaces and I don't want to see any title, don't wanna hear, don't wanna read.

I know of border none assignation and read about bb command but the first is useless in my case and I'm yet to figure out how to use bb command in config if that is even possible in this case.

Maybe with a script?

Thanks

Good question. I have configured my system with 'bindsym $mod+b border toggle', but it would still be awesome to set a default behavior What.

`bb` is no longer a command in i3 since version 4.0. Use `border none` instead.

Add this to your configuration (replace any existing new_window if necessary):

new_window 1pixel

See here for more information.

This will set borders on new windows to 1pixel if they are in a split container. In stacked or tabbed containers the title bar(s) will still be shown if there is more than one window in the container.

I have set 'new\_window none' on top of my config (the only place in the whole file) and also set 'new\_float none'. It does not seem to change anything. Any new window is shown with 'normal' border. i3 version 4.6

Same here problem with cee. I've tried both already; Is this solution something you are making use of or ever observed as correctly working?

No I do not use this myself, but I tested it before posting. And it works just like calling `border 1pixel` on every new window would, it removes the title bar. At least on windows in split containers. It seems that tabbed and stacked containers keep their title bar(s) no matter what you set.

It doesn't completely disables titlebar yet that's as close as it gets till a new release comes. I'll mark this as solved to thank you.

This works for me: for_window [class="^.*"] border pixel 1

It's a little hacky, but you can get this by setting your font size to zero

font pango:DejaVu Sans Mono 0

which renders a ~5px titlebar with no text. For me, that is better than having the titlebar completely disabled because you get an indication of the active window.
