The shadow text style and fatbits editor in the Preferences app really took me back. Other than a lack of close buttons on windows, it's remarkable that you can strip away 40 years of UX "innovation" and the result is still productive and intuitive.
(Edit: Menus staying open after one click was a welcome improvement that I think came much later.)
- layer8 1y agoYou can double-click on the icon in the top left corner of a window to close it. (Which, I guess, is just the shorthand for File > Set Aside.)
- ayaros 1y agoYes. Setting aside specifically places something on the desktop. Save-able documents have a "save and put away" option which "refiles" it back in its folder without putting it on the desktop. You made me realize I still need to add a separate "put away" option on all windows regardless, so there's always a menu command that can be used to refile something. The desktop isn't a normal directory - I discuss this in the readme a bit.
- ayaros 1y agoYes, sticky menus arrived much later. I put the extra effort to add them here because everyone's so used to them now. Both options work - you can single-click to keep a menu open, or you can hold down the mouse and drag to open a menu which closes when you release the mouse. There's at least one Mac extension I know of that lets you use sticky menus on earlier versions of Mac OS, like System 6. I figured I'd backport that feature a little further, so to speak... EDIT: Also, forgot to mention it in this reply, but you double click the titlebar icon to close the window.
