How To Add Title Bar And Borders On Maximized Windows

This guide assumes you have a basic understanding of using the command line in Linux and have administrative privileges. To add the borders of maximized windows in KDE Plasma 5, run the following commands:

Edit the file ~/.config/kwinrc to add the line:

BorderlessMaximizedWindows=false

under the [Windows] section, so that it looks something like this:

[Windows]
 BorderlessMaximizedWindows=false
 ActiveMouseScreen=false
 AltTabStyle=KDE
 AutoRaise=true
 AutoRaiseInterval=750
 BorderSnapZone=10
 CenterSnapZone=0

In other versions of KDE, the file may be located at:

~/[.kde|.kde4|.kdemod4]/share/config/kwinrc

Restart KWin by running:

 kwin --replace

If that does not work, try one of the following, depending on which display server you are using:

 kwin_x11 --replace
 kwin_wayland --replace

Go ahead and maximize all the windows you see. Just a reminder, you can unmaximize them either from the window menu (Alt + F3) or from the task manager in your panel. If quick tiling is enabled (System Settings → Desktop → Screen Edges → Window Management), you can also use Alt + Left mouse button to unmaximize windows by dragging them.

All the best nerd!
