It’s no longer possible to enable the system title bar. This creates a problem when working in KED Plasma, as KWin doesn’t draw shadows for CSD windows. It’s difficult to distinguish the cursor window from the background.
Hey, thanks for the report. The native title bar option is still there, it just lives in VS Code settings, not in Cursor Settings.
Two options:
Open Ctrl+, in VS Code Settings, search for window.titleBarStyle, set it to native, then restart Cursor. The window will get the system frame, and KWin will start drawing shadows.
Right-click the current title bar and select Restore Native Title Bar.
Just don’t confuse this with Cursor Settings > General > Layout > Title Bar. That toggle controls whether the custom title bar is visible, not its style.
Let me know if this fixed it. If the style still doesn’t apply after a restart, send a screenshot of the window and the window.titleBarStyle value from settings.json.
Yeah, Ctrl+, in the Glass layout is bound to Cursor Settings. To get to VS Code Settings, you first need to open an editor window. Open a folder or project via File > Open Folder, or switch to the editor view.
Then:
Ctrl+Shift+P → Preferences: Open User Settings UI or Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)
If you use the UI, find Window: Title Bar Style and set it to native. If you use JSON, add "window.titleBarStyle": "native"
Restart Cursor
After the restart, the window will get a system frame, and KWin will start drawing shadows.
If it still doesn’t apply, send a screenshot of the window and the window.titleBarStyle value from settings.json.
