- remove window glow/shadow on macOS NOT IN SCREENSHOTS

for users of winbuddy -- try limelight
I've been using winbuddy for years and I know I've seen other users of this subreddit talk about it. Between macforge randomly failing and the window borders getting stuck, making fullscreen videos in firefox impossible, winbuddy was almost not worth the trouble just to have some nice linux style borders.
- Is there a way to remove this top bar from the terminal application? (Or any application at all)
- is it possible to get rid of title bars in big sur?

Apparently you can play not-allowed iOS apps on Mac with PlayCover
Spaces Renamer. I’ve tried several other options but I suspect Apple only offers the index number (per display) in their public APIs, when I move spaces between displays the names don’t follow along and become mismatched. Depending on where I am and if I’m using my iPad as an additional display I can have one, two, three or four displays hooked up so spaces change frequently.

"Named" Spaces shortcuts / Spaces indicators
In this context, I really wanted Spaces to be named more characteristically than "Desktop 1", "Desktop 2"... This is not possible without a SIMBL plugin requiring to disable csrutil which is a no-go for me.

Can you manually relabel desktop spaces? (like instead of "Desktop 4" or "Microsoft Word & Safari" like "Math Class" or "Friday")
