As far as I know, that is not possible. In multi-window mode the main window
is GIMP
Not true of the toolbox/docks they can be closed. Used to be a favourite question with Gimp 2.2 / 2.4 on usenet. Closed them, how do I get them back ? Mostly fixed when single window mode came in with Gimp 2.8
You do need that main window. You can access most functions from the drop down menus.
Best I can suggest is look for a desktop function called "shade" which "rolls-up" a window. You best do your own research but for OSX there was this:
https://windowshade-x.apponic.com/mac/ Old utility, probably does not now work, do a search. In linux it looks like this, nothing to do with Gimp, it is a function of the OS desktop manager.
Edit: There is this
https://windowmizer.com/windowmizer/ but it costs $$$$
Quote:Also, with the latest update whenever I open an image it only opens a sliver of the image, rather than the full image (see 2nd photo)
I have no clue, probably an effect of your messing about with window size. By defaut Gimp remembers window size and position of the last session. What happens if you use Gimp in single window mode ?
