Restore gnome-terminal Zorin OS window decorations

I tried to remove all the window decorations from the terminal to make it minimal and suitable to use it as a editor and used this extension[Undecorate Window - GNOME Shell Extensions] . Now all the buttons on window header are gone and can't be restored. I don't want to re-install Zorin os again. Please help.

The extension uses xtool. This is the command it uses to "redecorate" a window(which doesn't work)

xprop -id 0x2c00001 -f _MOTIF_WM_HINTS 32c -set _MOTIF_WM_HINTS "0x2, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0"

and this to "undecorate"
xprop -id 0x2c00001 -f _MOTIF_WM_HINTS 32c -set _MOTIF_WM_HINTS "0x2, 0x0, 0x1, 0x0, 0x0"

Fixed it!

If someone stumbles upon this, You have to install:

  1. gnome boxes
  2. dconf-editor

The download and install dconf-editor in the gnome vm of new zorin os installation. Then go to /org/gnome/terminal/legacy and just copy whatever is in the vm version of dconf of same path.

You're back with the old one.

A better solution would be to do a bare metal install of Zorin and make your computer more secure by having Windows (?) as a VM! :wink:
