Spyder for Linux is missing the "minimize" button in the dataframe viewer tab

[Chuck321123]

Problem Description

So, the Spyder UI in Linux seem to be a bit different compared to the UI on Windows. For example, the "minimize" and "fullscreen" options are missing in the dataframe viewer. Would be nice to add these buttons to linux as well.

What steps reproduce the problem?

Open up a dataframe

What is the expected output?

That i see the minimize button, as well as the fullscreen button next to "X".

Versions

• PyQt version: 5.15.9
• Operating System name/version: Linux 6.5.0-1015-raspi (aarch64)

The presence of the window minimize button is controlled by your window manager, not individual applications.

Yep, I was about to say that. I also use Linux (specifically KDE) and there I can see the minimize button on the dataframe viewer:

@Chuck321123, the solution is for you to install and use a different window manager (perhaps you're using one that is too minimalistic).

I'm going to close this issue because it's really not related to Spyder.
