Remove the minimize/maximize buttons on views

Question

I would like to hide the minimize/maximize buttons for views in Eclipse RCP.

Currently I'm running an RCP 3 product in RCP 4 (Compatability mode).

This is the top bar of the view containing all of the buttons. (I've covered up the logos etc)

One method of removing the buttons is to create a style.css file and to specify that the buttons shouldn't be visible.

.MPartStack 
{
    swt-maximize-visible: false;
    swt-minimize-visible: false;
}

This results in this.

This is successfully removing the minimize/maximise buttons but is also shifting down the drop down button to a row below.

What might be causing this?

Update
As an alternative I've tried removing addons.swt from the e4xmi file. This included CleanupAddon, DnDAddon and MinMaxAddon. The buttons still remained.

Answer 1

I fixed this by changing the perspectives and views to the e4xmi file instead of the plugin.xml and setting them to not be toolbars.

In the plugin.xml file you can't specify if the view is a toolbar. In the e4xmi you can specify whether the part is a toolbar or not.

Here is the part configuration.
