sway: [regression] The titlebar can't be hidden anymore since sway 1.8
- Sway Version: 1.8
The following configuration mentioned in https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/6946, https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/5050 and https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/1286:
font pango:monospace 0
titlebar_border_thickness 0
titlebar_padding 0
Worked just fine in Sway 1.7 but doesn’t work anymore in 1.8 due to https://github.com/swaywm/sway/pull/7092
As a temporary workaround font pango:monospace 1 can be used instead of font pango:monospace 0 but it’s not the best solution.

That may be the case but when a hack is used by most people* i feel like it becomes a feature of its own. I’ve personally never seen any sway config or screenshot where the user kept the titlebar.
*: arguably my sample set might be biased, but still.
Same here. My current workaround is
font pango: monospace 0.001This does not have the desired effect of also removing the bars in tabbed mode.
yes just broke my settup. I dont want a bar. why would I go minimalizt/maximize my screen usage and then add a bar I dont want.
I remember when I first started sway loosing a lot of time trying to find the option to disable titlebars. It seemed obvious to me that such an option would exist, coming from other wm where I didn’t have that problem. There will also inevitably be lost time in supporting people like me that try to do that and giving them hacks. There are already quite a few PR and issues related to this and if you look at i3, there’s even more. I know sway isn’t looking to add more options, but it seems to me that this would be worth the time.
If not, then I’m sadly in favor of reinstigating a 0 font size. Better than nothing.
Reminder that a new Sway release is upcoming and this feature will go away unless someone steps up.
