Flatten windows? Like built in tiling?

[riggy]

Hey!

Would be nice if there would be possibility to mimic the built in tilling behavior, which causes windows to go flat (no rounded corners, no shadows, no windows standing out). It looks weird, when window slightly overlaps it's neighbours when focused.

I dunno if it's possible in extension, but just a thought?

I like the idea of flat tiled windows, but the cinnamon api does not yet provide a proper way to undecorate windows. (Maybe there is and I could not find it because of the lack of documentation)

Cinnamon Maximus does something similar by making use of system calls to xprop. (Maybe I will contact maintainer if I can use some of that code, or even better: Check for extension and call the specific functions if that is possible).
