Giving it a try now, but I have to say the amount of space wasted by the header bar of each window really bothers me.

This is a great resource: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME

See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME#Reduce_title_bar_...

But the tweak tool lets you change the font size which was enough for me. I also installed htitle to firefox to hide the title bar when full screen.


Thank you! I will give it a go.


Keep in mind a few of the commands only relate to arch linux, but I think if you're comfortable using the terminal you should be able to figure things out.


The header bars finally see more use in 3.12; for Firefox, I'd recommend something like HTile, which removes the header when it's maximized.
