Hide VS Code Window Title Bar

Introduction

After installing Ubuntun 22.04 LTS, I realized that the VS Code window looks a little bit weird somehow. But in Ubuntu 18.04/20.04 LTS, I did not have this feeling.

It turns out that there is an additional window title bar on the top of the VS Code window. In this blog post, I would like to quickly discuss how to remove the window title bar from VS Code.

VS Code Default Window

In Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, the top window title bar does really affect my mood for programming.

VS Code Window Title Bar Setting

In File → Preference → Settings → Window → Title Bar Style, change it from native to custom.

VS Code Custom Window

After customization, the top window title bar disappeared.
