Hide the Windows Title Bar?

Like in Google Chrome, Opera's Title Bar should be 'hideable'!

Yes, what I would like is a show/hide command just like for other bars: menu, page, personal, and address. I have keyboard shortcuts for all of these.

Currently I have a workaround with the really great nircmd tool. http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html. The command "nircmdc win -style class OpWindow 0x00C00000" removes the title bar from all Opera windows. I just run this after I start Opera. I have an "execute program" button to run the script from within the browser.

-1, as it breaks the integration into the desktop environment

When I run this command with
nircmd win -style class OpWindow 0x00C00000
my auto-hidden taskbar becomes inaccessible, and Alt-Tab bewteen applications does not work anymore.
Opera's window title bar, however, stays where it is.

I agree with most of the posters above...

The webpage title is already shown on the tab bar... Why do we still need the title bar...?

title bar is a waste of space for some of us....remove title bar to make the viewable area bigger...:up:

voted for "optional"

@trevorspoke works nicely
still, it's good to remember that alt-space gives access to "windows" menu (move, min, max...)
one issue: when maximised it also covers the task bar

that such a "hack" is possible shows (again) how crappy windows is *yuck!*
