Plasmoid which just show active window title and icon. Also allows to close active window with cross icon (its location can be configured) and some other actions (like present-windows effect etc).
This plasmoid is particularly useful when using BorderlessMaximizedWindows=true setting (in ~/.config/kwinrc under [windows] section). This option can now be turned on/off directly from widget settings.

-It crashes my entire Plasma Desktop depending on the configuration (for example when filling the hidden text on hover). I prefer Plasma Active Application (https://store.kde.org/p/1269296) that is faster, smoother and adapts itself in combination with Global Menu.

Excellent addon, does everything I need with very customizable options, and works side-by-side with Global Menu

For stripping titlebar in maximized mode use latte (the option is on layouts configuration page as "borderless").

It seems it doesn't work with the new Plasma global menu, as of KDE Plasma 5.13.2 ?
Meanwhile, I use a combination of 3 applets to get an equivalent result : "application title" on the left, the new global menu in the middle, and active window controls on the right. I remember it was a bit difficult to achieve this layout before (problem with the variable width of the menu).

I also tried to build the GIT version from a Manjaro KDE live CD, and got the same result : the global menu doesn't appear when using AWC alone. Thanks again, cheers !

One thing that would make this better is if you could drag the window out of fullscreen from the widget and move it around.

Unfortunately it seems to have a problem since a couple of weeks. I think I recognized the problem after the 5.12 update (KDE Neon) for the first time: I use Active Window Control to max/min/close windows on a fading task bar. This worked fine so far, but now it the Addon seems to not recognize the active/focused window after switching it. I only have an empty space where the buttons ought to be. After 'refocusing the window' (via minimize/maximize it), the buttons reappear immediately. Does this only happen on my machine? What can I do to solve the problem? I already tried reinstalling and re-adding the addon.
