Linux Gnome Desktop Windows Decoration Disappeared

Best/Tutorial

If the window decorations (title bar, close button, etc.) have disappeared from Gnome desktop in Linux, you can try the following steps to restore them:

  1. Restart Gnome Shell: You can do this by pressing ALT + F2 and then typing "r" in the run dialog and pressing enter.

  2. Reset Gnome settings: You can do this by running the following command in the terminal:

 
dconf reset -f /org/gnome/
  1. Reinstall the Gnome shell extension: Sometimes, a Gnome shell extension can cause this issue. To reinstall it, use the following commands:
 
sudo apt-get remove gnome-shellrnsudo apt-get install gnome-shell

If these steps don't solve the problem, you can try logging out and back in or restarting the computer. If the issue persists, consider seeking help from the Gnome community or consulting the documentation for your Linux distribution.
