Keep statusbar when Maximized

Open darianmorat opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

Is there any way to keep the statusbar visible when maximized? I mean, I want to be able to see the statusbar and have full screen apps, but now u have two options:

  • Gaps with status bar
  • Full screen without status bar

If u remove the gaps, U still have the color rounded borders. So that is not a solution, and thanks, amazing software

can you explain Gaps with status bar? how do you set the gap with the status bar so maximizing a windows doesn't cover the bar?

I mean, gaps with status bar is default for tiling windows managers and when u maximize a window it covers all the screen, this is pretty much what I would like to accomplish:

But in windows u have rounded corners which is the problem. Another example is when u maximize an app in windows 11. You have the app maximized, but you still have the taskbar

i mean even if you set gaps with status bar, the maximized window will cover the bar, correct?

What I what to do, you can do it with the current options. BUT, the default rounded corners that windows has is the problem, cause if I remove the gaps, I can have my window using the whole space and I can see the status bar, BUT you can also see the corners... In windows instead, when you maximize a window you can still see the status bar (taskbar), OR you can hide it, I think this is more clear now.

  • Or maximize window option that is gonna keep the status bar (so It needs to adjust the window and not just make the status bar to be on top)
  • Or removing the rounded corners (which is not optimal, cause of the bugs it carries)

I'm closing feature requests and bugs about the built-in bar since it's now been swapped out for Zebar. If Zebar doesn't fix what you need, a new issue for it can be opened over here
