Is there a way to remove maximized window controls/title from top panel in Unity

I want to move my window controls (close, maximize, minimize) back to the current window while maximised. I removed global menu and indicator-appmenu already but the window controls still default to the panel (and hidden at that) when maximized.

Anyone got any ideas?

Ways to remove the global menu:

Some applications have extentions in order to support the global menu, maybe that is causing your problems. Is it happening to all applications or just specific ones? Which ones?

To disable Global Menu for Firefox, open Firefox, then select Tools – Add-ons –> Extensions and disable ‘Global Menu Bar integration’.

Alternatively you can just remove the global menu extentions for firefox and thunderbird if you have that installed:

sudo apt-get remove firefox-globalmenu thunderbird-globalmenu
