Mpad/RJTe Suggestion: Title Bar - please don't ever remove it.
Posted: 26 Jan 2023 01:09
I have been using github desktop, chrome and visual studio code as well as datagrip. All reasonable tools at times but the new style that seems to have arrived in windows 11 makes navigating the o/s rather more difficult than it used to be. One of the things that really annoys me is the absence of title bars.
I am finding it increasingly hard to find an area in an app that is only partially on screen, in order to grab an app to move it elsewhere using the mouse. Chrome and github are really painful in this respect. VS code takes up the middle of the titlebar and you cannot just click and drag as you used to. None offer the option of putting the titlebar back.
With the titlebar gone the old 16x16 icon indicating the window identity has disappeared too and with it my ability to dblClick and close a window from the left hand side has also been removed, a really useful feature when your windows are partially off-screen. Most people don't know you can dblClick that icon to close a window but I've been using that for decades now.
I'd be mortified if mpad and RJTextEd went the same way as the above apps. Regardless of current design philosophy please don't follow those stupid designers...
Don't get me started on the disappearing and pathetically thin scrollbars and the overly padded right click menus that seem to abound in modern windows apps now. Anyway, that's my rant for the day.
