    You can try (set-frame-parameter (selected-frame) 'name nil) and (set-frame-parameter (selected-frame) 'title nil). Note, that this has nothing to do with mode-line-format. – Tobias Jun 21 '17 at 13:34
  • While I can appreciate the wish for a clean empty title bar, the icon can prove useful now and then: if you click and hold on it for a second you can drag-and-drop it on to another app, just as if you were dragging a file from the Finder – deprecated Jul 31 '17 at 19:53

Install emacsmacport:

brew tap railwaycat/emacsmacport brew install emacs-mac

And then

  • I've being using this distribution already. And the defaults command changes nothing. – stackunderflow Aug 1 '17 at 5:09
  • Ah, then you may need to install with the --with-natural-title-bar option. – cxa Aug 1 '17 at 5:16

In emacs 26 you can set ns-use-proxy-icon

(setq ns-use-proxy-icon nil)

I was able to get a completely "clean" transparent title bar:

enter image description here

Download emacs 26 for mac, add the following config to your .emacs, and restart emacs.

    (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(ns-transparent-titlebar . t))
    (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(ns-appearance . dark)) ;; assuming you are using a dark theme
    (setq ns-use-proxy-icon nil)
    (setq frame-title-format nil)

  • This works very well. Except when using something like BetterSnapTool, the width and height of frame will show in the title bar somehow. – lkahtz Feb 4 at 2:16
