"There’s no visible distinction between the window title bar and the body of the window."
Strikes me as a bit amusing, as this was the case also in early versions of GNOME 3. I believe it was abandoned because non-GNOME apps (or more specifically, ones that didn't follow the GNOME HIG) had a visible distinction and greater consistency was desired. Changing GNOME's own look was the way to do so.

Then, the X moves to different places in the box. (Bing does this for their house ads.) Then, the active portion of the X shrinks to make it harder to hit.)

- Animats 5y agoNo, that's web. But this new window manager seems designed to bring web-like behavior to the desktop.
- chungy 5y agoAlso in the earlier versions, the area you could click to move a window around was significantly larger. Down into the menu bar and toolbars. That pattern did get scaled back. A few GNOME apps still do it, but most only allow it on the title bar now.
