Meanwhile macOS: hold "opt" to shutdown/restart without confirmation: 2 clicks, instant action; vs GNOME's 4 clicks and janky animations.
Meanwhile both: cramming so many controls into title bars there's nowhere left to click to move the window.
I recently spent a week with OS X 10.5 on a G4, I think it was peak desktop.
- tristan957 2y agoYou can click and drag anywhere on the header bar. Did you not test this before making your comment? It seems like a lot of people are misinformed.
- rollcat 2y agoWell not on Mac, and I don't have anything with GNOME at hand. But that's besides the point: 1. it's not obvious (no other random part of the window can be used in the same way), 2. it's too many things in too little space (cognitive load, applies to Mac as well), 3. you have to be mindful about accidentally clicking instead of dragging (most non-Apple trackpads are simply bad), 4. it's ambiguous what's gonna happen for any UI element that could respond to drags (address bar, seekbar, etc). I have similar problems telling which parts of the window can be used to drag them around on a Mac. There's a secret feature that allows you to hold Cmd+Ctrl to drag the window by clicking (almost) anywhere, but every release of macOS breaks it for yet another app. defaults write -g NSWindowShouldDragOnGesture -bool true
