      @noheger inerestingly, the snap area is outside of what appears to define a window area. But then, traditionnally, wasn't that 'always' the case? Scroll sliders defining a window sizing drag corner?

        KDE by default has the same problem. You need to change the settings to add real window borders.

        And even that is not ideal. Ideal would be Windows 3 or IRIX, where windows are rectangular, thickly bordered, and the resize regions are clearly delineated.

          Did you change the border width? As far as I know, there's no border by default.

            @noheger I thought good design and a nice user interface were their only selling point. Great job fucking that up! The icons are also hilarious https://tonsky.me/blog/tahoe-icons/

              @noheger meanwhile XFCE since decades : CLICK ANYWHERE HOLDING ALT AND IT RESIZES THE WAY YOU WANT

              You don't have to target anything. It just work very well and is very comfortable to use.

              Who the hell pays for fisher price apple again ?

                @noheger this is why I refuse to use a window manager that does not support resize using alt+mouse2

                  @noheger The XFCE desktop has a really nice take on resizing windows.

                  Alt+Right-mouse-click somewhere in quite a large area near any corner of a window does the same as trying to find the much smaller window resize area in any corner.

                  I find this very useful as my patience and hand-eye coordination deteriorate (generally and by varying degrees on given days) as I get older.

                  Maybe other desktops have similar systems.

                    Ah, somewhat weird. Firefox has that thick border, but other apps do not. Maybe something to do with GTK vs QT, not sure.

                    While the border is pretty much not there, it's still very easy to resize windows.

                    With the narrow border it's more obvious that indeed dragging area inside the window itself is smaller than outside it. Maybe to avoid overlapping with controls inside those windows?

                    Otherwise that scrollbar might be weirdly inaccessible.

                      @noheger You move your cursor pretty fast to show it not working, but you slow down quite a bit to make your point. Maybe slow down in the first place.

                        The whole #LiquidGlass fiasco has made #MacOS noticeably worse. It wastes a LOT of screen space.

                          @groxx @phl @the_wub @noheger wow I didn't remember Windows 7 looking that good.
                          Maybe Apple should've tried improving this design instead of whatever they've done instead.

                              @noheger I've just realised that #Ubuntu does that too. I never noticed because I never use the corner to resize; I do Super + right click.

                                      @noheger Well, I'm not going to say Tahoe has no issues, but I can't reproduce the error you're seeing.

                                      In the old days I would say try restarting without extensions to see if the problem persists. These days I think it's create a new user account.

                                        @noheger Please tell me this is configurable and that it's not what they ship as a default setting...

                                          @noheger Great piece. To the point. Not too technical. (For us common folk.) Useful. Thank you.
