Is this guy having a laugh?
Every time I've upgraded my monitor, I've found it easier. If you don't want a window to be wider than a certain point, don't make it wider. Myself, whenever I see apple users, I see them with these tiny narrow windows with nothing else on screen, which I have never understood.
That said, I always value vertical resolution - I have never bought a 1920x1080 monitor as 1600x1200 is so much nicer, or 1920x1200 for the wider aspect ratio.
- redial 13y agoI guess you didn't read what he wrote. He is not complaining about the windows being to wide, he is complaining about the scaling that Windows 8 applies when it detects a High DPI screen, that makes every element inside a window either too large or too small, or sometimes both, breaking the original design and fluidity of the application and rendering it unusable. And your point about Apple users..well, I don't know what was your point about Apple users.
- pmelendez 13y agoHis point about mac users is that they tend to divide their screens in tiles while windows users tend to maximize the windows and switch between them. I found myself doing that on a mac too (I used to have a machine of each OS on my desktop) and was mostly because I never get used to the dock or exposé or even the way MacOS maximize windows
- redial 13y agoI don't think that is what he wrote, but anyway, what you say has to do with how each OS works and neither is inherently bad. I do think however that the way Windows maximizes applications is more consistent, which is always better. Maybe that is why on a Mac one tends not to maximize a window as often as on Windows.
