Top Window without Decoration on Ubuntu

Hi,

I try to get rid of the window decoration on Ubuntu, but can't find a way.

Here's how it looks like on Windows:

and this is on Ubuntu:

I did set the flag for the window attributes to 512 (no decoration), but I'm still getting close bar on top of the window.

If someone wants to have a look on the code, my window is created with, it's here: (line 294 and below)
https://github.com/XRoemer/Organon/blob/master/source/py/menu_bar.py

Thanks for any help,
Xaver

Hi :slight_smile:
Sounds like it might be best asked through the devs irc channel or
something. It might be a good idea to try an Ubuntu forum or mailing list
too. Whoever gives the right answer first please give link to the other
forums/channels
Good luck and regards from

Which version of Ubuntu and what desktop environments are you using?
Ubuntu 13.xx? 14.04?
Unity? MATE?, KDE?, GNOME?

To be honest, I do not know what to say. I use the Ubuntu-based [13.xx] OS on my main desktop - Linux Mint 16 with MATE. The "window decoration" does not bother me. Of course, I do not use the default window attributes, even with my Ubuntu 14.04 laptop. Having the "darker" window menu header[?] background - or whatever it is currently called - does not work for me. So I customize it. It looks like you have "Ambiance".
