great ideas, thanks

What colorscheme is the screenshot? 😅

@codepunkt Theme is Ayu Mirage Bordered and font is IBM Plex Mono

how?

@fecavalieridesign Windows only support hidden, not hiddenInset option: https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/browser-window#new-browserwindowoptions

oh thanks :)

Thanks for sharing, bro!

This doesnt remove this annoying bar, anyone know to remove it?

@rohzzn see this thread, maybe this is your issue as well https://twitter.com/kuba_hasek/status/1743212489813242219

It work on Linux Ubuntu ?

Unifying top bar with tabs is available only on OSX.

nothing is working actually, not even enable

I think, not sure if related to a new vscode release, that "window.customTitleBarVisibility": "never", is also required to hide the customTitleBar

Ah, thanks @filipef101, it has been indeed introduced in January 2024 (version 1.86). Updated gist.
