See the screenshot 50px have been wasted here! On my 1280x1024 production screens for my business 50px is an extra line of text. Two if I use a smaller font.
I noticed that the Opera browser has figured out a way around this and hides the unnecessary title bar when maximized. Maybe we can learn from Opera and make this behavior default? ** Attachment added: "50px wasted." https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1787288/+attachment/5176024/+files/Schermafdruk%20van%202018-08-16%2000-07-34.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1787288 Title: gnome-shell window title bar wastes space when maximized Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Steps to reproduce Start Ubuntu Login to Unity Choose logoff Choose Ubuntu (which should have the label Gnome-hell) Note this is the only way to get Gnome-hell to start, starting it directly just shows a black screen and dumps you back to the greeter. (already created a bug report for that) Open a program Choose the Maximize icon alllll the way over on the right (thanks Gnome-shell devs for causing more Mouse Arm for people with Hi-res screens, instead of just moving the mouse up to the top to click my button, I now have to move it all the way across the screen to the right) The window maximizes but not to full screen. I get a weird double bar, with the clock bar and the window title bar wasting valuable pixels. On my professional systems at work, this means I can display one less product on the screen, products being more important than the titel of the window. Please hide the window title when maximized.
