Titlebars on windows are the responsibility of the window manager. Since you didn't run one, you're getting only the interface elements actually provided by the application.

I don't know what the fashionable window manager is these days... if you're very traditional, this will work:

twm -display :1 &

Thanks found a a similar solution with `DISPLAY=:1 openbox &`. If your solution works I will accept it as valid answer. – Tk421 Sep 07 '17 at 03:35
