[Feature Request] Remove title bars from windows #504
Description
I think most people that use a wm dont like these annoying white bars, but you cant really turn them of, or can you (without just removing all decorations icluding the rounded corners)? I managed to write some Odin code to get rid of the on the few apps that I use that actually have them, however it would be really convenient to have this be feature of glaze, wich is a really good wm btw, big thanks to everyone who participates in this project. Anyway here is my code, you could probably use it as a starting point for a c# implemenation, or maybe this at least helps someone out. I would implement this myself, but Im just not good at c#.

}PS: command: "resize borders 0px -7px -7px -7px", as a window rule in your config fixes the size of most windows without titlebars
