Option to 'Hide Custom Title Bar' has disappeared

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

I did a fresh install today (2.6.20) and found that I am now unable to hide the ‘title bar’, and the title bar is also empty. I checked vscode 1.112.0 and the option is still there. The title bar does not disappear when window.titleBarStyle is set to "native" or "custom".

I know this option was present in a previous version, because I was using it, but unfortunately I no longer have access to see what version I was previously using.

I’m sorry for clicking “Cursor is unusable” but honestly it kind of is for me with this :sweat_smile:

Steps to Reproduce

Install Cursor 2.6.20 on Linux (X11), open command pallette, there is no option to ‘hide custom title bar’.

Expected Behavior

there should be an option to ‘hide custom title bar’, as in vscode.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hey, thanks for the report.

The Hide Custom Title Bar option in the command palette was replaced with a dedicated Cursor toggle. To hide the title bar:

  • Open Cursor Settings (not VS Code settings) via the gear icon or Ctrl+Shift+J
  • Go to General > Layout
  • You should see a Title Bar toggle there

The window.titleBarStyle setting (native/custom) only controls the title bar style, not its visibility, so switching it won’t hide the title bar.

Let me know if the toggle in Cursor Settings helped.

oh, beautiful, thank you so much!!!

@deanrie I just noticed that disabling the title bar in the Cursor settings also hides the editor tabs.
