>if you maximize Firefox
This is what has me concerned. I never maximize windows. I've not used Unity yet, but the trend with both it and OS X Lion seems to be moving toward more and more modal interface paradigms in a world where we have the largest, highest resolutions displays that have ever been available to the average person. I'm not happy with the idea, personally.
- hasenj 16y agoI think you're reading too much into it. Maximization have existed since the 90s, Unity just makes it more efficient in its use of vertical screen space.
- andybak 16y agoI would argue the trend is towards smaller screens if anything (small, light laptops, netbooks, tablets etc.). I always either maximise or snap Windows to some sensible half/third of the screen layout. I don't want to manually juggle Windows as my OCD kicks in and I start fiddling with them to get them exactly lined up. The Mac's 'sort of maximised but with a bit of the desktop showing round the edges' gives me the shakes...
