I used to agree, then I moved to Linux (KDE specifically) and found out I could set my DE up so Super+LMB anywhere on a window moves it, and Super+RMB resizes it, it's is way more convenient, I haven't found myself using the title bar any more.

- kroltan 4y agoI'm not advocating for this to become the default functionality across the world for everyone, it's definitely very opt-in. In that case you don't need discoverability for something you set up yourself. It's also very fun to play with when using the Wobbly Windows effect, you can stretch them in different ways depending on where exactly you picked the window up from.
- iso1631 4y agoI have Alt-LMB for moving, but that all falls to pot when I remote into another machine -- alt-lmb moves my rdp/vnc/browser, not the one in the screen I'm connected to.
- layer8 4y agoTitle bars also serve to more quickly recognize where windows are. If every application fills up the title bar with different stuff, it becomes harder to “parse” where windows are on the screen. There is an inherent benefit in windows having uniform “chrome”.
