Gnome 47 is supported since v79 but an important error fix has been released in v80. Install using the commands below.

wget https://github.com/hardpixel/unite-shell/releases/download/v80/unite-v80.zip
gnome-extensions install unite-v80.zip

@korason7117 If you are on wayland, you probably have to log out and log back in after activating the extension, check #369. For arch linux there is an AUR package, so it is better to use that instead of installing manually. The extension works fine on arch since I'm on arch too.

[korason7117]

yes. im on wayland. and i dont really want the aur pkg, at least for now.

this is how it looks for me. i've even restarted my pc. is this how it should be? what are the limits to what it can do to hiding titlebars?

@korason7117 you can install manually, I suggested the aur package for easier install and automatic updates. I can't understand what is going on with your system from the video you provided, I ain't no magician. You should provide logs using journalctl -g unite and do your testing with the default adwaita theme and other extensions disabled.

i've only noticed a slight difference with regular gnome apps. their close/maximize/minimize buttons disappearing.
created a VM for this. i noticed that for an app like copyq it did hide titlebars as expected. didnt bother checking if copyq was running under xwayland, tho. but when dolphin got installed, it didnt hide dolphin's titlebar.

You should provide logs using journalctl -g unite

here. nothing meaningful, though

my toy video was recorded with extensions enabled. but i had already tested with only Unite enabled and all other disabled. all default.

is extension supposed to hide all title bars, qt and gtk?

[jonian]

Thanks for the extra info. So the extension works but not for some apps, is that correct?

The extension supports all applications that use SSR (server side decorations), that means all X11 (xwayland) apps. For CSD (client side decorated) apps there is support only for GTK. For Qt apps you can force X11 using the command below:

QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb dolphin

You can also set the env variable in /etc/environment to force X11 for all Qt applications.

[jonian]

Also Firefox is supported if you enable Title Bar in customize screen.

And Chrome (chromium, brave etc) if you enable Use system titlebars and borders.

[korason7117]

so it will work as expected under xwayland/x11. which was never my point. it'll be best to reflect this in the README. since its difficult to fully support a wayland enviroment

What about this tho?  When I ask the Upgrade Assistant what's compatible with Gnome 47:

[jonian]

@scarlion1 I guess upgrade assistant checks with the latest version on EGO (gnome extensions website). This extension has stopped publishing new versions there since gnome 45.
