Extra doc title bar when multiple documents are opened in windowed mode. Is this ui behavior changeable?

[MangaTengu]

Hello,
I work in windowed mode because the tab bar will never disappear no matter what option I use, even if I have only one document.
In windowed mode, I can get rid of any title bar in canvas only or not, which is cool. The problem is when I have several windows opened. I have that very eye-catching blue title bar appearing (the one with ‘[Not Saved]’ written in the middle). It annoys me so much (especially in canvas-only mode…), I usually force myself to have only one document opened…

Oh yes, that’s annoying. I have that too on Linux, and it is not new. It exists since the subwindows mode was introduced.

If you switch the color theme; you’ll see the color of the header follows the ‘color accent’ of the theme. (eg. Krita dark orange). I wish them to be the same color as the user interface; with just the windows title brighter maybe when it is the subwindows in focus.

Edit: After a search, I saw an issue on LMMS that looks similar, and it mentions how authors solved the issue Title Bar Theming Support · Issue #2450 · LMMS/lmms · GitHub

A mockup of what it would look like.

Sorry, but none of this is changeable: it’s how Qt’s mdi support works. You’ll have to live with it. Trying to change this using stylesheets causes other bugs to appear.

Can the tab bar be hidden when only one doc is open then in tab mode?

Not without awful and buggy hacks.

How about this, create 2 Ten Scripts with shortcuts.

1. Gets rid of titlebars altogether

from krita import *

qwin = Krita.instance().activeWindow().qwindow()
wobj = qwin.findChild(QMdiArea,'')

for subwin in wobj.subWindowList():
    subwin.setWindowFlags(Qt.FramelessWindowHint)

and restores the titlebars when you need to move something

from krita import *

qwin = Krita.instance().activeWindow().qwindow()
wobj = qwin.findChild(QMdiArea,'')

for subwin in wobj.subWindowList():
    subwin.setWindowFlags(subwin.windowFlags() & ~Qt.FramelessWindowHint)

Then set shortcuts

Thanks I’ll definitely try that out. I just vaguely remember I could not use shortcut binded scripts on macOS
