Client-side decoration (CSD) is the concept of allowing a graphical application software to be responsible for drawing its own window decorations, historically the responsibility of the window manager. GNOME applications is slowly migrating to client-side decoration. While some applications use CSD by default, others draw them only while running in GNOME session.
Unfortunately, CSD is not used by GNOME Terminal if you launch it outside of GNOME session. Fortunately, there's a configuration option you can use to explicitly enable it. In order to do that just run the following command in your terminal:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.Terminal.Legacy.Settings headerbar true
The setting won't be applied as long as there's a running copy ofgnome-terminal-server process. You have to terminate it and restart the terminal.
The configuration option is tested with gnome-terminal 3.40. It might or might not work with other versions.
