If you ever used Google Chrome - and you must have -, then you might have noticed how much vertical space you can gain by removing the window title bar. Yes Google Chrome has a titlebar, but as an extent of the tabs, so that's not conventional titlebar.

This can be very useful for a laptop, netbook and so on as you will gain a lot more usable space, but believe me, you will also notice the extra space on a normal desktop monitor.

Before we get started to disabling the maximized windows titlebar, you might be wondering how will you minimize, unmaximize or close maximized windows. Well, all can be done with keyboard shortcuts or by right clicking Gnome Panel, Docky (Gnome Do theme), Cairo Dock, Avant Window Navigator or whatever panel / dock you may use to access the opened windows list.
