Am I the only one thinking that in some GTK4 forms, such as for example the file requester dialog, placing action buttons on the title bar, is both unnecessary and logically wrong? I find it really annoying.
Having the buttons below allows me to drag the window in a favorable position (good, the title bar is available!), then read the entries by moving my eyes towards the lower part, then when finished I just keep looking down until I reach the controls to either accept or cancel the choice. But no, with the new arrangement I must go down, then back up to confirm. At least give us a way to go back to the old widget placement.
- ohazi 5y agoNo, you're definitely not the only one. GTK is used by a lot of projects that are unrelated to GNOME, but unfortunately GTK still lives under the GNOME umbrella, and the GNOME developers are an unbelievably antagonistic bunch.
