I'm using Oneiric 11.10, Unity 2D, and compiz (modifying some ccsm settings); I've activated the effects plug-in on ccsm, and when I apply the changes by typing in the terminal compiz --replace, I get two title bars in a maximized window rather than only one, the first: the one which is integrated with the unity bar, and the other: the one of the window.

Here are some pictures:

  • Did you uninstall the `unity` package? Someone else in a [recently-closed question](http://askubuntu.com/questions/71090/unity-2d-double-titlebar-for-maximized-windows) had a similar problem caused by that. – Knowledge Cube Oct 24 '11 at 02:28

To solve the window decorator issue, simply run the following in the terminal or Alt+F2 and the window decoration will immediately disappear:

gconftool-2 -s -t string '/apps/compiz-1/plugins/decor/screen0/options/decoration_match' '!state=maxvert'

Or just as @joschi's answer suggest, you can do that graphically using the CCSM:

I have set myself the 'decorations for windows' box to !(state=maxvert & state=maxhorz) because I do want the decorations when the window is only vertically/horizontally maximized (by clicking the maximize button with the middle/right button, respectively), and I do not want them if it is fully maximized.

  • *Excellent*! No one seems to be mentioning `state=maxhorz`, but that is important, especially if you want to use the Window Grid plugin. I tried `maxhori` and `maxhoriz` and neither worked; should have figured this out. Took some searching. +1 upvote this answer people. – Kazark Jul 07 '12 at 16:32

You can try to change the settings in the 'Window decorations' option in CCSM. Type !state=maxvert in the 'decorations for windows' box which should remove the decorations of all maximized windows.

You can also change settings only for specific application say firefox

!(class=Firefox & state=maxvert & state=maxhorz)
