You could share your thoughts or (positive) feelings about one of those design decisions that cause discontent: putting confirmation buttons and other UI controls on the title bar, when the natural human way of processing visual information is top-to-bottom (so a confirmation button makes more sense at the bottom area of a dialog).
They are talking about it on a sibling comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34027754 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34027754
Do you feel that the crowded title bar design decisions are aesthetically pleasing and usable? (would really like to know the opinion on these topics from users that like how it's been done, instead of users who hate it, for a change)
- christophilus 4y agoYeah. It’s fine. It doesn’t bother me. Gnome’s UI is consistent, has good fonts and margins, is minimalist, and gets out of my way. It has all of the settings I need in one consistent, easy to search place. I get the entire screen available to me with no huge useless dock or similar thing taking up real estate. It just works and works mostly how I want. :shrug: It’s obviously not for everyone, but I like it. I also appreciate the focus and the way they cut out features that add complexity and inconsistency to the UI. So, I’m general, I’m a fan. It’s not perfect, but I like it a whole lot.
