.. _gnome_wayland_decorations:
Why is there no title bar? / Why can't I resize the window?

Why is there no title bar on GNOME? / Why can't I resize the window on GNOME?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This happens on GNOME Wayland because GNOME doesn't support the `standard
protocol`_ for server-side decorations. As a result, the window decorations
do not appear.
This happens because GNOME on Wayland doesn't support the `standard protocol`_
for server-side decorations, and Looking Glass doesn't implement its own
decorations.
The easy solution is to use `libdecor`_. This is currently not packaged in
most distros, so you will need to build it from the linked git repository.
The easiest solution is to build Looking Glass with `libdecor`_ support.
If your distribution lacks a ``libdecor`` package, you must build it from
`source code <libdecor_>`_.
Once you have built it, you can then build the the client with libdecor
support by passing ``-DENABLE_LIBDECOR=ON`` to ``cmake``.
Please be aware that libdecor comes with overheads, which is why it is not
used by default. You should avoid it if possible.

An alternative solution is to hold down the Super key (Windows key on most
keyboards), and then right click on the window. This should bring up a menu,
keyboards), then right click Looking Glass. This should bring up a menu,
which will allow you to move the window and resize it.
.. warning::
Libdecor support is provided for the convenience of our Wayland users on
GNOME, however it is not a priority feature and may break, please seek
alternatives if you require stable operation.
