Description Eugene San 2023-12-30 20:35:28 UTC
Default plasma config consumes too much vertical space.
It is not suitable for hardly suitable on small 16:9 displays.

In previous versions there an option to hide titlebar for maximized windows but it no longer available.
It is still possible to add below config option but doesn't work as expected. Instead it hides the titlebar permanently and does not restore the titlebar after un-maximizing.

```
[Windows]
BorderlessMaximizedWindows=true
```

Please restore the option to configure titlebar behavior for maximized windows.
Also, it would be nice to have window control buttons in the panel or at as first options in the window context menu.

That option is still available and works fine in my testing. I know various people who use it. If it's not working for you, it's possible you've misspelled the text for it in your config file.
