[SOLVED] Chromium missing window frame after upgrade

Upgraded system earlier today.  Upon reboot and starting X11, loading up my usual apps, Chromium windows did not show any borders or a title bar. I have not changed any settings.  Using Icewm, with no changes to its config files.   All other software has normal windows.

As an experiment, I tried 'icesh -s -n eyb  borderless' and 'icesh -s -n eyb  bordered' to add or remove the borders of a virtual midi keyboard I had up. This worked fine. (For unknown reasons, must have "eyb" not "vkeybd", but that's a separate issue.)   Trying the same command but for chromium has no effect.  Using a 'list' action instead of 'bordered' shows correctly the several Chromium windows that are up, so icesh does know what I'm talking about. 

Did something about Chromium change since mid-August?  Or Icewm? Or something else? Do other have this happening?

Re: [SOLVED] Chromium missing window frame after upgrade

They've integrated GTK CSD (tabbar is now integrated with the window frame) with v 93 from what I can tell. Not sure whether there's an easy way to disable that or whether you need a explicit patched gtk3 to disable CSD or need a Window manager that explicitly supports this

Right click the tab bar, select Use system title bar and borders.

duama: Yes, that's it.  Somehow I accidentally did that sometime right before or after the upgrade.

Thank you. I was looking for that option but never found it.

Right click the tab bar, select Use system title bar and borders.

This is not working correctly with xfvm4. There is a window decoration if I enable this option, but it disappears when the window is maximized.
Any ideas?
