[regression] The titlebar can't be hidden anymore since sway 1.8

[kit-ty-kate]

• Sway Version: 1.8

The following configuration mentioned in #6946, #5050 and #1286:

font pango:monospace 0
titlebar_border_thickness 0
titlebar_padding 0

Worked just fine in Sway 1.7 but doesn't work anymore in 1.8 due to #7092

As a temporary workaround font pango:monospace 1 can be used instead of font pango:monospace 0 but it's not the best solution.

Hiding the titlebar this way was a hack to begin with.

[kit-ty-kate]

That may be the case but when a hack is used by most people* i feel like it becomes a feature of its own.
I've personally never seen any sway config or screenshot where the user kept the titlebar.

*: arguably my sample set might be biased, but still.

I remember when I first started sway loosing a lot of time trying to find the option to disable titlebars. It seemed obvious to me that such an option would exist, coming from other wm where I didn't have that problem.
There will also inevitably be lost time in supporting people like me that try to do that and giving them hacks. There are already quite a few PR and issues related to this and if you look at i3, there's even more.
I know sway isn't looking to add more options, but it seems to me that this would be worth the time.

If not, then I'm sadly in favor of reinstigating a 0 font size. Better than nothing.

yes just broke my settup.
I dont want a bar.
why would I go minimalizt/maximize my screen usage and then add a bar I dont want.

Same here. My current workaround is font pango: monospace 0.001

I believe the official way of hiding titlebars is setting default_border to pixel [<n>] or none.

Yea just updated to 1.8 and have the same problem. I‘d really appreciate either having a setting for this or reinstating the fix.
Either way, sway has been a really nice experience and I‘d like to say thanks to all involved.

This does not have the desired effect of also removing the bars in tabbed mode.

Is it related that with 1.8 and Chrome PWA apps I started getting two titlebars?

[emersion]

No, this is not related.

#7408 has been merged to the 1.8 branch as a temporary fix. The master branch still doesn't allow a zero font size, and this is tracked by #7409. Patches welcome to fix this.

I want to hide the main title bar, not per tab title, the workaround removed all titles.

Reminder that a new Sway release is upcoming and this feature will go away unless someone steps up.
