Start with Step 1 (Switch to X11), as it’s the simplest and most likely to resolve the issue based on common Electron/Wayland problems. If that fails, proceed to Step 2 (Disable GPU) and Step 5 (Compatibility Flags) before trying other steps.
Ubuntu with X11 fully supports generating Electron applications (like GDevelop) with customized or removed title bars using Electron’s frame: false option and custom HTML/CSS/JS. This is achievable by modifying the app’s source code or configuring a new Electron project. However, the gray screen issue from the GitHub discussion is more likely tied to Wayland rendering problems, and switching to X11 should be the first step. Customizing the title bar is a separate enhancement that can be implemented but may not directly address the rendering issue unless it bypasses specific window manager conflicts. |

@jjhesk I don't know if this error has anything to do with it. I tried what you said, but it doesn't work, it's still the same. |

Isn't it possible to make GDevelop integrate better into Linux environments?
I've noticed something that raises my questions when I look at an app like Visual Studio Code, whose desktop version also uses Electron, like GDevelop
What do I mean?

My question or idea for improvement: Isn't it possible to make GDevelop on Linux integrate better with the desktop? Is it something like what happens with Windows or Mac?

In other words, should GDevelop have its own title bar instead of using the system one on Linux?
