        @keneda Ok, I understand your comments, thank you. I will think about that to give a try. But switching manually is not what I hoped to do.

          I would be happy to know how to make the toggle visible

          I only tried to help you about this.
          Now i'm sure you can change scalling using terminal, but we have UTTT for this.

            Hello
            What I'm looking for existed in the past, but this key isn't available anymore :

            #for Windowed mode:
            gsettings set com.canonical.Unity8 usage-mode Windowed
            #for Staged mode:
            gsettings set com.canonical.Unity8 usage-mode Staged
            

            I listed all the "schemas" but didn't find something relevant ...
            If you know it, please tell me.

              You can look in the UTT code, there you will find how it is done.

                I'm pretty sure those will still work unless you device is already on 20.04.

                  Yes, it's working.

                    @bolly @kugiigi Yesss ! Thank you very much !
                    Having look at the code of UTTT as suggested, I had seen the key and didn't understand why I had the answer :
                    The schema "com.canonical.Unity8" doesn't exists
                    This was why I told you "but this key isn't available anymore" above.

                    After you said that it was working, I understood my mistake :
                    I was issuing the command in LXTerminal running inside the Libertine container, and there it doesn't work. You're right, if I type the command outside the Libertine container, it works ! Great !

                    I'm now facing some other problems with the Windowed mode but these are commented in other threads.

                      One more tip, if you don't want to install UTTT :
                      When you see the picture above, you may usefully use this command

                      gsettings set com.canonical.Unity8 launcher-width 6
                      

                      Then you get this below (minimal launcher width)

                        And the better tip, if you want to hide automatically the launcher :

                        gsettings set com.canonical.Unity8 autohide-launcher true

                        Have fun !

                          @pulsar33 This is actually in the settings app but it's hidden on small screen for some strange reasons. I have an open PR to just show it in all devices.

                            It is in UTTT also, along with launcher scaling.
