Re: Maximus and Pixel saver extentions do not work on wayland, let's figure a solution

Thanks for the quick answer. Is there a way to signal to the window that one wish to undecorate it ? Maybe there is way to make that work with famous library that most application are likely to use, such as gtk and qt ?

Or is it just impossible by design ?

Under Wayland, window decorations are client-side. The shell has no
direct influence over them
