Hide Title Bar

[jorge-uptio]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm trying to hide the title-bar in liinux, I know it's possible using electron, just can't find it in this app.
I also know there's an older issue on this topic - but doesn't seem to work properly issue

Describe the solution you'd like
Have a flag in the configuration to activate it the "frame: false" option in electron when creating the window

Thanks!

Hey, can you find the options in electron? Last time I tried this it was a frameless window (meaning, you only see the app, like a kiosk) that covers the whole screen.

Things might have changed, as they changed in the past. It used to be possible but then they removed it.

If you can find more info, I would be happy to check if we can try it out.

[IsmaelMartinez]

nope, I was wrong and I think there is a wee bug. Probably when I was doing some refactoring a while ago. It does do full screen, so not hiding the bar as such. I will see when I got some time to fix it. Nice catch and thanks for reporting.

[jorge-uptio]

Thank you very much!

[IsmaelMartinez]

The bug should be fixed in https://github.com/IsmaelMartinez/teams-for-linux/releases/tag/v1.11.2 (pre-release). Can you confirm? Thanks

[jorge-uptio]

thanks, it works in full screen mode
I was wondering if there were a solution to remove the title bar when not in full screen mode

anyways, thanks for the hard work

[IsmaelMartinez]

I don't think this is possible in linux with electron, sorry. Maybe request this as a feature request in electron.

I believe it is - I'm using owa-desktop and I added the following to the create window:

const window = new BrowserWindow({
    width: 1280,
    height: 720,
    title: `Outlook Desktop - ${email}`,
    icon: __dirname + "images/Outlook.ico",
    autoHideMenuBar: true,
    frame: false,
    webPreferences: {
      spellcheck: true,
      webSecurity: true,
      contextIsolation: false,
      webviewTag: true,
      nodeIntegration: true,
      nativeWindowOpen: true,
      session: ses,
      webviewTag: true,
      nodeIntegration: false,
      contextIsolation: true,
    },
  });

the frame: flase, allowed me to do it - just don't know how to do it in your app.
hope that makes sense

@jorge-uptio there is no command-line option in the app. frame:false can only be used when creating a new window. So it can be implemented only as a start up parameter.

[IsmaelMartinez]

BrowserWindow is deprecated so I will suggest we only try to implement this after we have move away from it to the WebContentView.

We already got a lot of things breaking from that migration and adding extra changes now will make it move complex.

I will reopen this but mark it as blocked for those reasons, hope you understand as 3/4 other issues are already block for that migration that will otherwise block future migrations.

[IsmaelMartinez]

Ok, I added a frame config option that you can try to use. See version https://github.com/IsmaelMartinez/teams-for-linux/releases/tag/v1.11.4

Let us know how you get on. This feature might go away once we move to the WebContentView, but hopefully it doesn't

[IsmaelMartinez]

https://github.com/IsmaelMartinez/teams-for-linux/releases/tag/v1.11.5 has this as an optional, not the default. That was a mistake from me.
