gtk3-nocsd VS tdesktop

After gtk3, window decorations are not a thing in gtk apps. The gtk theme is used to draw the elements. (Read client side decorations for better idea). You have to depend on 3rd party tools to restore window decorations, like this one. Don't know how well it works now, or even works with gtk 4, since i tried it way back and it has not seen any updates for years.

It's incredibly hacky, doesn't work on GTK4 apps, and only functions when using X11, but if those aren't deal breakers for you, than gtk3-nocsd might be what you're looking for. It forces GTK3 applications to use the same system side decorations that other applications do.

OK then. I think you want the more typical version of things. Stop Appearance and the like looking that way. The best option currently is this. I don't know what distro you're using so I can't say how you would install it exactly, sure you can figure that out.

You can try asking a question on the developer's site - https://github.com/PCMan/gtk3-nocsd/issues

I managed to remove them with this script: https://github.com/PCMan/gtk3-nocsd

gtk3-nocsd can help with this

It's not a Gtk style. It's a plugin/hack you need to install externally. https://github.com/PCMan/gtk3-nocsd

so potentially could be just to send an Instant View link pointing to an app instead of a site.

How is telegram Electron if it's https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop C++/QT?

Please report this to the Telegram GitHub.

The Telegram Desktop app is available on Linux, and since it is open source, is commonly available in distro repositories.

You just need to install Telegram Desktop if you want this specific thing :) Go to https://desktop.telegram.org and download it there.

Download the https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop

Download the https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop within the same directory as the Telegram executable, create a folder called TelegramForcePortable. This way you can save the Telegram settings across reboots in your persistent storage. no installation needed!

There are 2 versions, one is Telegram Desktop that you can get from their GitHub page, the other one is available on AppStore. I personally use the latter and it’s pretty much negligible in terms of battery impact.
