- charrondev 6y agoVery happy to have them gone myself. Somehow I don’t have any difficulty grabbing a part of the app and moving it.
- qz2 6y agoMost of the time yes. But each time you have to reason about where you can grab a piece of it because there is now no one place to do so. Note I’m a Gnome user mostly now which is a fine example of how stupid this is.
- charrondev 6y agoAre there any apps that you are aware of that don’t let you grab the area next to “stoplights”. That seems to be the “one place to grab it” all the time.
- zozbot234 6y agoGNOME is easy because you can always grab on the window title area in the headerbar, which is reasonably intuitive. Yes, most headerbars include extra widgets but there's always a clear visual separation between those and the actual title.
- tokamak-teapot 6y agoI recently started using this to make it possible to move windows without having to reach for the title bar: https://deniz.co/penc/ https://deniz.co/penc/ And there's also this: https://hookshot.app/ https://hookshot.app/
- seanalltogether 6y agoIt seems to be based around the fallacy that since they aren't needed in a mobile app, then surely they must not be needed in a desktop app.
- kevincox 6y agoOn GNOME you can hold Super and click+drag any windows around. Very useful if you want to shove the top of the window off the screen then pull it back as well.
- qz2 6y agoNot so easy when you’re doing it on a laptop though.
