IMO Gnome's window management and desktop stuff is just fine.
But that unified toolbar-menubar-titlebar design for apps? That's just atrocious... There's no rhyme or reason for what is placed where. Some things become "buttons" on the bar while others are hidden under a hamburger menu, and yet others have just disappeared...
I can use MacOS & Unity's "shared" menu bar.
I can also use Windows's per-app menu bar (/ribbon bar).
But this hybrid thing just has me scratching my head time and time again. The inconsistency that's so annoying.
Why is the new tab button inside the burger menu for the file manager (https://regmedia.co.uk/2021/03/25/filemanager.png https://regmedia.co.uk/2021/03/25/filemanager.png) when it's in the top left for the terminal app (https://www.tecmint.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Gnome-Terminal-for-Linux.png https://www.tecmint.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Gnome-Ter...)?
Why is the toggle to turn off wifi all up there in the title bar and not part of the page or the sidebar where I'm looking for it???

Is the title-menu-tool bar representing app-wide, tab-wide or page-wide options???
Arrrgh!
- tombert 5y agoI know everyone complained about the shared bar, and I do understand the complaints, but I guess I've always had laptops with relatively big screens, and as a result I never felt a lack of real estate due to the bar. I will acknowledge it would be nice if you could have an easy way to hide it though.
- jabbany 5y agoA shared bar I can live with but the combo menu-tool-title bar is really annoying. It's also a GNOME design that has grown to affect things outside GNOME because it's implemented on GTK3. So even if you use a different window manager, apps still have this confusing bar thing...
