Joplin - hide menu bar.
For the time being I’ve settled on using Joplin for my markdown note taking. There’s one issue that annoys me - on Linux the menubar looks IMO pretty awful, out ot place. Many Electron apps have a toggle that allow you to hide it - Joplin sadly hasn’t. But luckily you can add this option yourself.
Find the ElectronAppWrapper.ts and ElectronAppWrapper.js . Open those in the editor and in the const windowOptions find a line show: debugEarlyBugs, and add below it the following:
autoHideMenuBar: true,
If the Flatpak version (with Flathub repository) is being used the files can be found here:
/var/lib/flatpak/app/net.cozic.joplin_desktop/current/active/files/joplin-desktop/resources/app
But note on update etc. there’s quite likely those changes will be overwritten.
That’s it - after restarting the app the menubar should be gone. If you need to access it just tap alt key.
