Make Linux UI frameless (use custom title bar)

Current

Desired

This is accomplished by adding frame: true to browserDefaults if on Linux.

Custom elements for closing, minimizing, and maximizing will need to be added.

It's even worse on my setup (Ubuntu Gnome 16.04):

Where to put the frame: true?

[flybayer]

@karlbateman click the browserDefaults link and it'll show you the object to on which to add frame.

@flybayer Thank you, although I have it running on Debian Jessie amd64, so where would I edit that?

[flybayer]

@karlbateman did you install using the .deb package or did you clone this git repo and build it from scratch? If you did the first, you'll need to do the second following the instructions in the README.

After cloning, edit the app/index.js file and then run npm start.

@flybayer I did the .deb install, so will follow your suggestion. Thanks for the help 😉

Yo y'all please check #946 😄

[mindvox]

Is this included in the Linux binaries now?

[matheuss]

Not right now @karlbateman, but will be in the next release – which will be shipped very soon 😄
