Hi folks,

I was wondering if it was possible to disable window decorations (close, maximise, minimise) on the GNU/Linux build of Thunderbird 128.7.0esr. I cannot seem to find this in the settings.

I don't have window decorations on my window manager (i3), so this make Thunderbird a little jarring to use and I'd like to disable them if possible. Two of the buttons (minimise and maximise) are actually non-functional due to i3's tiling nature. I think this is something that has recently been added, as I never used to have these buttons before updating recently after being away from work for a while. They've just appeared and I can't seem to get rid of them.

Am I just being daft and missing someething obvious in the settings?

Thanks in advance.

This can be done with css: 

.titlebar-min,
.titlebar-max,
.titlebar-close {display:none !important;}


Help/Troubleshooting Info, Profile Folder, Open Directory (Win:Folder), close TB, create a new folder named chrome, create a new document in chrome with a text editor, name it userChrome.css, Save as type: All files *.*, copy in the above code. Double-click toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true in Settings/General/Config. editor, restart TB.
