I used this method in 18.04 (https://joshtronic.com/2017/07/26/hide-title-bars-in-gnome-shell/) but it doesn't working now... Any ideas?
P.S. I used a standard desktop environment
P.P.S. To be more precise: I used to have a clean terminal without ANY bars, status bars, borders etc. in any window size and I am trying to achieve this again in new ubuntu 20.04.
What finally worked for me was to run:
sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-pixelsaver
gnome-extensions enable [email protected]
gsettings set org.gnome.Terminal.Legacy.Settings headerbar false
in the terminal, then restart the shell (Alt-F2, r).
Very simple!
Install dconf-editor
for ubuntu-like distros
sudo apt install dconf-editor
for arch distros
pacman -S dconf-editor
Open dconf-editor
Go to /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/headerbar
Disable "Default value" and change "Custom value" to "False".
Close all your gnome-terminal windows and then reopen your terminal. Voilà!
To remove menu bar, in terminal go to "View" and uncheck "Show menu bar" (or something else).
[Edit]
OR
Just open your terminal, copy and paste code below:
gsettings set org.gnome.Terminal.Legacy.Settings headerbar "@mb false"
If didn't work, install dconf-cli and try again.
To remove menu bar in terminal, go to "View", and uncheck "Show menu bar" (or something else).
gsettings set org.gnome.Terminal.Legacy.Settings headerbar "@mb false", worked lovely in Debian bookworm.

I use Unite and it works for me.
To install Unite you need to open up Firefox and install an add on. Just visit Firefox addons page for to install gnome shell integration. Once ready, click + Add to Firefox
After that, in terminal enter this code:
sudo apt install chrome-gnome-shell
Finally, visit Unite extension page and slide the button up right from off to on. The extension will be installed. You can refresh the page to click on the configurations button of the extensions on the same page.
I found a solution on this site: https://joshtronic.com/2017/07/26/hide-title-bars-in-gnome-shell/
Copy this code from site and paste in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css (open this with gedit or nano (I used gedit)).
After that save and you can close that windows (gedit) and I prefer you open new terminal. After you done that part, in shell (terminal) paste this code: gsettings set org.gnome.Terminal.Legacy.Settings headerbar "@mb false"
(this command is on that site too), after that do ALT + F2 and put latter "r" in command line, click ENTER. This fixed my problem. You just need to open new terminal and see if that worked.
^ If this doesnt work than open terminal and paste those commands: sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-pixelsaver gnome-extensions enable [email protected] gsettings set org.gnome.Terminal.Legacy.Settings headerbar false
and after that go to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css if code you paste that disapear copy it and paste it again. Again, run command line: gsettings set org.gnome.Terminal.Legacy.Settings headerbar "@mb false"
And after that do ALT+F2 and in command line put latter r and click ENTER. You just need to open new terminal and see if that worked.
I hope this helped some. Nice day to all of you guys! :)
