Hello, everybody! :slight_smile:

I am experiencing the following problem: ALL THE WINDOWS in my Mate won’t show the “maximize”, “minimize” and “close” buttons when MAXIMIZED.

Could anyone help me, please?

Cheers!!!

Is the Window Title gone to ? If so you have Maximus extension .
Here is how to fix it :

  1. Open dconf-editor . (If you don’t have it install it via [sudo apt-get install dconf-editor] )
  2. Collapse /org/mate/desktop
  3. Search Maximus
  4. Uncheck : ‘Undecorate maximized windows’ key .
  5. Enjoy !

Or just use MATE Tweak which can toggle that setting :wink:

Yeah, window title is gone. There is not option to force decorated window without installing anything else?

Thank you so much for your attention
