Cannot find the compact title bar option. Has it moved? about gtk-theme HOT 2 OPEN

I did indeed try that, though, without the knowledge that you could hotkey the ability to move the windows. I was just using the roughly 1px area at the top of the window that when hovered just right would let you move it as is.

Unfortunately, with all of the applications that I use daily, it is not exactly practical to attempt to completely change my workflow in this manner.

That said, I came across a gtk.css file that I was able to put into my ~/.config/gtk-3.0/ folder that seems to have done the trick to get the titlebar to a more reasonable size as seen below. Should this method cease to work in the future, I will definitely revisit your above mentioned method. 👍

Thanks,

I thought that option had disappeared upstream years ago. There may be a GTK theme or two out there that still does this, but I'm not sure where to point you for a theme like that. If you want to conserve vertical space, you can disable window title bars entirely with this setting in the Pop Shell settings menu:

Functionally, windows can still be dragged around by holding the Super key when clicking and dragging anywhere on the window. Super+Q replaces the "X" button, and both minimize and maximize buttons can be mapped to the keyboard, if desired. Hope that helps.
