and in full screen window close, minimize and maximize buttons are shown and from there i can close davinci window
and also video and audio are not showing when imported
problem was listed here
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DaVinci_Resolve#Troubleshooting
but problem not solved from this website instructions
Welcome to the forum.
Which version are you on? and my first guess would be(may be inaccurate), you are using a standalone window manager version.. in which case mostly there is no title bar. bcs most Window manager enthusiasts hate title bars(something about wasted space). But anyway, that shouldnt be a problem. Learn some hotkeys/keybinds of Davinci Resolve. like Ctrl or Alt + a key should open a folder, file or something. then you will need no titlebar. As for closing the app just there should be a keybind too but pkill/killall always works if you have saved your work.
using DaVinci Resolve 17.2 downloaded from davinci resolve official website
my guy, I meant the garuda variant? sorry for not specifying.. are you using Dragonised or Gnome or something else. I meant this<==.
i am using Garuda KDE Dr460nized

I've found the solutions on my Garuda and Resolve Studio with an AMD GPU.
First issue:
Not starting et all, black windows instead of footage if started.
Solution:
Install the AMDPro drivers and start with this command prefix "progl":
progl /opt/resolve/bin/resolve %u
How to install AMDgpu Pro drivers (even if you don't have an AMDPro GPU) pls check the ArchLinux Wiki.
Second Issue:
Missing Top Menu (conflict with Latte)
Solution:
For the missing top menu of DaVinci Resolve (or any program which is in a familiar conflict with latte) there is this solution (combined with the AMDPro drivers) use this command:
killall latte-dock && progl /opt/resolve/bin/resolve %u & sleep 30 && latte-dock --replace &
Since Resolve has some issues with the Latte-dock implementation. You can change the sleep as you see fit. Since it actually seems to count for the Project Manager window in the first place. I felt like 30 seconds are enough for me to decide which project I want to load 
If you are within Resolve your Latte dock will restart, as the commands tells it to and you can see your TOP menu in Resolve like in the Windows version.
The idea of this solution is to kill latte until Resolve has started which avoids the initial conflict with the top menu. Bear in mind the project manager window is part of the starting process of DaVinci Resolve.
I hope that helps everybody who is considering using Resolve (or any other tool which might have issues with latte). I've seen the issue often and a pretty old reddit post gave me the solution and I modified it ofc
Regards,
Bruce
P.S.: I hope I don't get smacked for reviving but it seems to be a pretty important issue. I found a ton of requests of them across the net for all distributions. (which mostly use Latte or got issues with missing AMD GPU pro drivers). Since Latte is part of (at least) the Dr460nized version of Garuda I think this solution should be here to be found.
