How can I hide the decoration of maximized windows?

Question

I just added the Window Buttons applet to my panel, but it seems that the Hide Compiz decorations for maximized windows feature no longer works after my upgrade to Natty. Is there another way to achieve the same effect in Compiz?

go into Compiz preference and check if the hide compiz decoration for maximized windows is in the block list. if it is, move it to the right side.... if it isn't not in the block list and it's simply no longer working... well, hopefully someone else can answer. — hansioux, May 04 '11 at 01:26
I posted an answer, it's not exactly what I wanted, but it works. — Alan, May 04 '11 at 02:28

To do it with compiz

Install compiz config settings manager

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

In CCSM select window decorations
Change decoration windows from any to !(state=maxhorz and state=maxvert)

Although this isn't done with Compiz, it is along the lines of what I was aiming for.

Install Maximus:

sudo apt-get install maximus
Add it as a start-up application
