They're mandatory because they're the way to move the window with your mouse. So fucking them up with a bunch of stuff that hinders that is just as bad as not having them in the first place.
Congratulations, you've circumvented the mandatory requirement!
Which is just as bad as disregarding it in the first place.
- Dylan16807 3y agoDo you need the entire title bar for movement? I sure don't.
- CRConrad 3y agohttps://imgur.com/a/dGwiRP5 https://imgur.com/a/dGwiRP5 That's a screenshot across the entire width (of the top) of my monitor, as you can see from NP++ being maximised behind MS Word. Pretty darn busy, isn't it? Sure, I can clean it up quite a bit, I can find out how to customise that. But naive users? They'll probably freak out. (And, TBF, I just noticed you can grab on to at least some of those busy-looking fields and drag it. But I only noticed that just now, while futzing around to screenshot it. And again, would my Mom? Or yours?) No, on the whole: What large software providers do to the Windows ittle bar nowadays is shit. The larger, the shittier. So of course Microsoft itself is worst of them all.
