Save 20px by Going Frameless and Getting Rid of Atom’s Title Bar

1 min read

Being a fan of keyboard shortcuts, I have never been a fan of macOS’ Title Bar.

  • Close
  • Minimize
  • Full Screen

You know the bar I’m talking about. Most of the time, it’s not worth the real estate.

I scoured Github Issues and PR’s until I found exactly what I was looking for: A recipe, thanks to the man by the name of deeperx on Github.

# quit Atomnpm -g install asarasar e /Applications/Atom.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar /tmp/atomasar# 1. Edit src/main-window/atom-window.js & add:#   frame: false# 2. After the line#   title: 'Atom'# 3. Saveasar p /tmp/atomasar /Applications/Atom.app/Contents/Resources/app.asarrm -rf /tmp/atomasar

See! No Title Bar! No Title Bar!

Keep in mind!

When you do this, moving your window around with a mouse will be virtually impossible, make sure you use some window management software!
