Before submitting

  • I searched existing issues and did not find a duplicate.
  • I am describing a concrete problem or use case, not just a vague idea.

Area

apps/desktop

Problem or use case

On tiling WMs, window management is already handled by the compositor/window manager, so minimize/maximize buttons are mostly unnecessary and take up UI space. The current titlebar looks slightly out of place in these environments.

Proposed solution

Add a setting or automatic detection to hide the native window controls/titlebar buttons on Linux tiling window managers.

Why this matters

This would help T3 Chat feel more native and visually clean on Linux desktop setups that use tiling WMs.

Smallest useful scope

A simple toggle in settings to hide the native window controls/titlebar buttons on Linux would already solve the issue.
