Feature request: Option to hide/disable titlebar on Linux (Wayland/Hyprland) #441

Description

On Linux with tiling window managers like Hyprland, the custom titlebar ("OpenWork" + window controls) takes up unnecessary vertical space and duplicates functionality already provided by the window manager.

Request

Add an option to hide/disable the titlebar, either via:

  1. A setting in the app UI (Settings → Appearance → "Hide titlebar")
  2. A Tauri config option (decorations: false in window config)
  3. Environment variable (e.g., OPENWORK_NO_TITLEBAR=1)

Context

  • OS: Arch Linux
  • WM: Hyprland (Wayland compositor)
  • Version: 0.7.2

On tiling WMs, window controls (minimize/maximize/close) are typically handled via keybinds, making the titlebar redundant. Many Electron/Tauri apps (VS Code, Zed, etc.) offer this option.

Screenshots

The titlebar in question:

  • Dark bar at top with "OpenWork" text and three dots (window controls)

Thank you!
