Feature Request Chomeless terminal window

Is it possible to have a chromeless terminal window a-la Hyperterm? So the top window bar has the window background. That would make everything look really smooth.

Thanks.

You can kinda make it happen with the nightly build by setting the tab color to black and turning off the divider between the tab bar and the terminal (in Prefs > Appearance). I should look into doing this better, though.

Milestone changed to %Review for next version

Thanks! This is pretty sweet as it is, bit had to find the actual settings, and I've noticed colorpicker gives the wrong color, but anyway:

When you add a tab, the window gets reset to the default color:

@firedev I wasn't able to reproduce the title bar coming back bug. Can you attach your $HOME/Library/Preferences/com.googlecode.iterm2.plist file here and the exact steps to reproduce, please?

Sure, here you go. To reproduce - simply press CMD-Tcom.googlecode.iterm2.plist

CMD-T

Having same use when creating New Tab.

Also, colors when using printf -- $'\033]6;1;bg;red;brightness;0\a\033]6;1;bg;green;brightness;23\a\033]6;1;bg;blue;brightness;43\a'(0,43,54) doesn't match with window background Nor colorpicker

I've changed the dark theme to make the window's title bar dark in commit e3691d19.

The colors don't line up because the color picker uses SRGB and the escape sequences uses the device color space. I should extend the escape sequence to allow a colorspace parameter and extend the color picker to let you specify a color space.

Commit d66d9bbe adds a new escape sequence to set colors that allows you to specify a color space (and much more). It'll be in the next nightly build. You can use this shell script to use it conveniently:

I'll leave adding colorspace support to the colorpicker for another day.

changed milestone to %Future Release

mentioned in issue #5404

@gnachman Thank you a lot! The dark windows title looks amazing! Works perfect. When will it be available in a release?

My plan is to slowly roll out 3.1 (beginning with 1% of beta testers) into beta starting (hopefully) this week.

It would be simply amazing if iTerm would not resize it's window to the closest font-size, but instead centered the terminal inside itself so the background would not stick out and the windows could be neatly tiled:

I did ask about this before, but maybe now, with Chromeless window you could give it another thought.

Does turning on Prefs > Advanced > Terminal windows resize smoothly do what you want?

Oh wow, thanks! This is just great. If you get these options within easy reach this is going to be the best release ever. It's especially nice with the disabled change of window size following the font size change.

This looks awesome, really looking forward to getting this release. I'm still on 3.0.15. How do I change the color of the session name? And I'm getting some white lines I'd prefer to not have so it can be a clean view.

1. How do I turn off / hide the white border underneath session name?
2. how can I change the color of the session name text?

Thank you

Using 3.1.beta.6, you can resolve both issues:

2. The color is automatically set to be legible.

This has been working great in MacOS 10.12. Since upgrading to High Sierra 10.13 Beta (17A362a), the color no longer matches the main window.

I have set the tab color and background color to 253238. I also tried using your it2setcolor script. I understand that this is beta software, although it was just released a few days ago, so there is no expectation that it should work right away. However, I wanted you to know the issue is there for a future release.

Thanks for all of your work!

High sierra prevents apps from controlling the color of the title bar, unfortunately. It's either light or dark, and that's it.
