Most multi-document apps today are tabbed anyways, so we have the document title in the tab bar. And it's pretty clear which application is which by just looking at it's appearance. Why duplicate the title in the decoration when we already have it in the task bar? I already made my decoration "title" bar as small as possible because I'm rarely interested in what the title is - and I can already drag most windows by dragging from some blank space in the window. I'm not even sure if classical menu items should be in a title bar at all: It's not too easy to point at them unless the window is maximized (because then the mouse pointer would stop at the top of the screen). So menu bars should be at the top of the screen and change when I switch the window. I'm seeing the "title" bar to be more useful for items like some often used functions of the application (the core function if you want so). And by eliminating the menu from it completely, there'd also be space for a document title. But yes, if menu items right within the window should be the way to go, I'd rather see the expanded list of items across the decoration instead of a title, and instead of hiding away possibly important menu items in a hamburger menu. I consider the application title or document title the least important thing to have in the decoration, as usually that's duplicated to the task bar and tab bars anyways. But that's probably not true for all applications. The current miniature hamburger menu is just a pita to use - did you ever try to click it without precise targeting the mouse pointer at it? A temporary solution could be to make the hamburger icon just a real button that says "Menu" or "Application Name". PS: I almost stopped using menu bars. Either using keyboard shortcuts or avoid using such applications. However, that's not always possible. And for some reason most GTK apps ignore it anyways and show a menu bar - if at least that would be colored like the decorations... May I still dream? ;-) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
