GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 668652
Do not show the titlebar when eog is maximized
Last modified: 2012-08-12 13:20:21 UTC
We are doing this in ephy and we probably want it in eog too: https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/WindowStates I know some people will complain about the filenames, but we ought to solve that somehow else. We need to reduce chrome.
Created attachment 206076 [details] [review] Do not show the titlebar when eog is maximized. This is the default behavior for GNOME 3.4.
Do you have a screenshot of how this looks? I guess my local mutter version is not recent enough to show the effect. If it makes more screen space available for the image it certainly is a nice idea. Regarding the then hidden filenames, I think the properties dialog & sidebar + the tooltip in the collection should be enough places to find the filename.
Sure! Here you are: http://people.gnome.org/~csaavedra/images/2012-01-29-eog.png

Thanks! # Bug 668652 - Do not show the titlebar when eog is maximized - NEW Attachment 206076 [details] pushed as c93aa0b - Do not show the titlebar when eog is maximized.
Shouldn't the menubar be also hidden and in fact replaced by a Shell-styled menu?
Most likely yes, but that'll require a bit of extra time that I don't currently have :) We'll get there eventually.
Reopening as per bug 671643, so we can take another look at it and test it during the 3.6 development cycle when all the necessary infrastructure works reliably (and fast). We need to decide whether we want it or not and if it should be in by default or if it should be a plugin.
It's hard to decide really. Moved it into a plugin for now, so testing and evaluating is easier. commit 42acca2c8daf8dafb1427ce44ac1d3a9d7101237 Author: Felix Riemann <> Date: Sun Aug 12 15:11:04 2012 +0200 Add new plugin: Hide Titlebar This hides eog's titlebar when the window is maximized. The function is more or less parked in this plugin for now as it's unclear whether this would be a good default for eog. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668652 --- This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
