Difficult to understand GNOME hamburger menu philosophy (2024)

- ggm-at-algebras 1y agoI think this gets to the heart of what third party/alternate gui style means. Either we abstract the control elements to a common core and then what we call them, and their main points can change, but they are understood in metaform for what they are, or we have .. soup. Ctrl-c Ctrl-v are just one instantiation. Open, new, open old, reopen, settings, help, print, there's hundreds of potential points which by default will hang off a burger menu and which either do not conform to a specific style guide or else don't behave the same compiled ifdef #this package against ifdef #that platform. On a mac, it's policed. It's almost the lead value proposition.
