Is "Window decorations" switch gone from System Settings > Desktop Effects > All Effects? IIRC it was there not long ago. 4.11.2

decorations are under systemsettings -> workspace appearance
or are you thinking of something else?

Yes, something else. There used to be a switch to disable them completely in All Effects.
It's still in effect but I wanted to temporarily enable them back to check if this bug http://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/9090 is reproducible and didn't find the switch.

try right click title bar -> more actions -> special windows settings -> appearance & fixes ->
-> check no title bar and frame
-> force temporarily
-> yes (default is no and it does not change even if you've made a change)
- ok

Thanks, that will help someone a lot, but

"This configuration dialog allows altering settings only for the selected window or application."

The bug is reproducible with window decorations and now the question in more about that switch in All Effects.

Well, if you make your rule match all windows, it'll hide the window decoration from all windows.

I don't remember an effect that does that. If you temporary stop desktop effects, do you get the window decorations back?

Wow, sorry, I really had this window rule for all the windows.

There's never been such switch or effect and the effects don't control the availability of decorations either (at best they'll make them transparent, but won't remove them)
If there was something, it's been a distro specific patch.

There's a "secret" setting for maximized windows (used by the netbook shell iirc?)
Undecorated windows would traditionally be enabled by rules and lately there's also (hidden, same purpose) support for completely undecorated windows.

Use rules since it allows you to enable decos for some windows (we recently learned that some swt clients simply don't paint unless they're embedded into a decoration...)
