[Feature Request] option in General or Advanced settings to hide titlebar #933
I’d rather have an option to give the title bar a modern look similar to the ‘minimal’ look for iterm2. This look is based the appearance of Electron apps (https://www.iterm2.com/documentation-preferences-appearance.html). In my opinion this as useful as the titlebar but less distracting. Ofcourse having an option to completely remove the titlebar would already be a good first step.
Transparent titlebar is implemented. I agree, that tabs could be integrated to titlebar as well if a user wants.
Do you want to contribute implementation of them for MacVim?
I would like to but I am afraid I don't know anything about the underlying code for macvim. Maybe I do in the future and then I might give it a try. That will not be anytime soon though.
In particular, do :help MMTitlebarAppearsTransparent.
I will be open to pull requests for a "modern style", although I'm a little weary of adding even more customization to window styles and tabs. Features are good but they add complexity and general maintainence cost, so I have to weigh how much value there is versus having to juggle multiple tabs implementation. Seems like iTerm has "Regular" (regular window with tabs below title), "Minimal" (big combined title / tabs bar), "Compact" (small regular size combined title / tabs bar). I think it's feasible to do something similar to "Compact" and just put the tab bar there, but there's a fair bit of code with assumptions of how the tabs work that I am not inclined to take that on now.
@mvcouwen I think you should probably make another issue instead of this one if you want that feature just to make it easier to have discussions specific to the feature.

Thank you for a feature request, @acidjazz
I'd also prefer to have all options visible one way or another.

@mvcouwen Could you add some screenshots for your idea? Could you also check if it already implemented (
:help macvim)?mvcouwen commentedon Oct 17, 2019
Sure!
See e.g. this screenshot
from here.
This feature does not seem to be implemented.

Love the minimal look, but also no title at all! Can we do both? maybe a new feature request @mvcouwen ?
eirnym commentedon Oct 17, 2019
@acidjazz no title at all is already implemented and documented
