I feel like people have been complaining about the massive GNOME 3 title bars for at least six years, but the GNOME design team seems incredibly stubborn and unwilling to listen to feedback.
- dsr_ 9y agoThe GNOME design team is like that about everything. They believe that their way is best... until the next major version, whereupon their new way is best. In any case, they aren't interested in providing choice for users with different tastes. Either you like what they give you, or you should go elsewhere. I went elsewhere. XFCE is still pretty configurable.

KDE’s Dolphin uses 109 vertical pixels of chrome compared with Nautilus’s 48. Finder in the upcoming OS X version seems to have around 75 pixels.
