Of course it's ugly .. and pretty useless .. do your movie theatre ..
cable TV provider .. provide TitleBars?

Getting rid of these mostly useless "decorations" is not an mplayer
issue.  They are added by your window manager and naturally this is the
guy who can remove them. 

With the ones that I have used such as Window Maker for instance, this
is usually pretty easy -- via some option or other in a "window menu" ..
and you should be able to do it selectively .. in case you don't want to
do away with the title bars of other applications.

Just make sure you can still access the "window menu" via the keyboard
for instance after the title bar is gone .. once it's gone, you can't
click on it any more.

:-)

Thank you!
