In order to hide/show the titlebar of the internal frames uncheck/check the Show the titlebar option. This property can also be customized for each frame, by pressing the Hide/Show the titlebar buttons.

There are 3 more settings that have an effect only on the frames with hidden title bar:

Seconds before show title - If the mouse cursor is held on the very top margin of the frame, its title bar will appear. This option sets the number of seconds the mouse cursor needs to stay in that area, until title bar appears.

Seconds before hide title – Set the number of seconds for the title bar to remain visible (before being hidden again), after the mouse cursor quits the title bar's area.

However, the above value will be ignored (and the title bar hidden immediately after the cursor leaves), unless the cursor is kept over the title bar for at least Seconds before enable hide delay.

To explain the concept: when Docking is enabled, the frames in a workspace will interact as - upon resizing one of them - their edges touch. The property with the same name controls how this interaction will manifest in such a context. In order to enable frame docking, go to General, then Enable Docking or press Ctrl + Shift + G. Only one of these options can be active at a time.

Move neighbouring frames on active frame resize - When resizing a frame, the frame(s) adjacent to it will be pushed away to allow the new size of your current frame.

Resize neighbouring frames on active frame resize - When resizing a frame, the adjacent frame(s) will be resized as well to adjust the new size of your frame, but they will not be moved from their current position (the total space occupied by the docked frames stays the same).
