Ubuntu 20.04 GNOME 3.36 - Remove terminal window titlebar buttons

  • 772

Is there a way to remove the new tab, search and what seems like a settings button from the window title bar in GNOME 3.36 Terminal.

What I want is to change the title bar from this:

To this:

I would like to remove these buttons since I never use them, and having them there seems like a waste of vertical real estate. If I want to search for something in the terminal window I usually do ctrl+shift+f. When adding a new tab I do ctrl+shift+t and I usually never change any of the settings after my initial setup.

    You can disable the CSD (client side decoration) a.k.a. the headerbar, and thus revert to the SSD (server side decoration), the traditional behavior.

    In order to do so, open dconf-editor, navigate to /org/gnome/terminal/legacy and set headerbar to false. Then restart gnome-terminal.
