Add an option to intelligent hide the top bar
Underlying problem
- Always seeing the time can be distracting;
- Top bar loses a lot of its importance when the workflow is more keyboard-based since all of the topbar functions can be accessed by using the Super key, with the exception of the app menu. This makes the topbar a little intrusive;
Benefits
- Clean interface: by truly maximizing the window, a user can get more focused when doing a task on an app, similar to the way macOS maximizes a window;
- More vertical space can be used
How it would work
The topbar would be hidden when maximizing a window or when putting a window near it. When putting the cursor in the top corner of the screen, the bar would appear above window(s) (like when using the position:fixed
property from CSS in an element).
