How to Hide or Show Title Bar for Windows Terminal app in Windows 10


The Windows Terminal is a modern, fast, efficient, powerful, and productive terminal application for users of command-line tools and shells like Command Prompt, PowerShell, and WSL. Its main features include multiple tabs, panes, Unicode and UTF-8 character support, a GPU accelerated text rendering engine, and custom themes, styles, and configurations.

Starting with Windows 10 build 21337, Windows Terminal is now an inbox app.

When Hide the title bar is turned on in Windows Terminal settings, the tabs are moved into the title bar and the title bar disappears.

When Hide the title bar is turned off in Windows Terminal settings, the title bar sits above the tabs.

When Always show tabs is turned on and Hide the title bar is turned off in Windows Terminal settings, tabs are always displayed underneath the title bar.

When Always show tabs is turned off and Hide the title bar is turned off in Windows Terminal settings, tabs only appear after more than one tab exists, by pressing Ctrl + Shift + T.
