What if the title bar was at the bottom?
>>106813721Wouldn't be a title bar, now would it?
Thank goodness it's not.
Emacs kind of does this.
>>106813731vim too
like a tray of food. makes sense
>>106813725Footerbar don't sound right.
>>106813721In the FVWM window manager, you can do this, if you want.
>>106813721We would have to call it the aussie bar.
>>106814063you got a loicence for that bar mate!
>>106813721i'm surprised gnome doesn't do this
>>106813746No, it doesn't. You're not supposed to read your food.
>>106813721Windows are meant to simulate papers on a physical desktop. Pages don't have their titles at the bottom, and you don't read pages from bottom to top.So what if the title bar was on the bottom? It'd have been less analogous to a familiar real-world scenario, wouldn't have been as intuitive, and maybe wouldn't have caught on at all.
>>106813748desu I'm pretty into feet.
>>106813721you can't just leak gnome 50 like that
What if we removed the X (close) button?
>>106815365No, DOS was command line only. Shut up.

>>106813721haven't gave it much thought, but i wouldn't be against a bottom bar
>>106815195Numbering pages is a thing that usually appears in books at the bottom of page and it's not uncommon for section title being next to it, too
>>106813721That's sinful, anon
>>106813721dis lookin goofy af cuz>>106813731>>106813738statusline is not a titlebar
>>106813721what if your dick was on your face? honest, how would social interactions go? think about it>>106815391you heard about TUIs? there were also graphical shells for DOS. and while unrelated even Windows up to 9x was just a DOS WM
>>106815462>using gvim
>>106813721hear me out
>>106815016then explain THIS
>>106816233G means Grrrreat
it works (just)
>>106813721you mean you want it the other way around?
You would drag it to the bottom in order to fullscreen it.
>>106816847That's not food, that's half-dead yeast, carbohydrates, and flour.That thing has 0 nutrients.Animal products have 90.
>>106813721It looks wrong. It's evil.
>>106813721Bad idea, the windows will all sink to the bottom
>>106816795This is OK imo
>>106813721Stupid. Do you also put the title of your essays in the bottom, after the text?
>>106816795before we send this up the chain for approval I think we should explore every option
hear me out...
would this work?
>>106816795This is the patrician option.
>>106818277Just remove the title bar altogether.
>>106813721Valid and important.
>>106818277have to another monitor just to keep your title bars on.
>>106813721don't give the sirs even more fucked up ideas

>>106821482>locale based control layout beyond simple RTL switchI guess dark mode switch also kinda happened, but damn

>>106822560Think you're onto something special here
>>106813755>FVWM window manager>F? Virtual Window Manager window manager
>>106822560>>106822595Make the buttons relocatable.
>>106817281what now bitch
>>106813721That's close to many mobile UIs.It's like iOS Safari that has navigation and other system elements at the bottom, while the content is above it.
>>106819457Yes, in fact Haiku basically already does this (as well as Mac OS Classic to a lesser extent).
>>106813721Often I find I have to move my mouse a long distance to reach the title bar often in inconvenient directions, which is totally inefficient. So why not just make it a circle around the window? That way, I have more directions to choose in order to hit the title bar if I'm inside the window, and if I'm outside all distances towards the title bar will be shorter.
>>106813721>>106815462>>106813731Run CWM: the wondow title is only an abstract thing you search with meta-/ otherwise it's not on the streen.
>>106813721probably the most interesting and thought provoking post made here in years.
Say, what if the scroll bar was on the left rather than right?
>>106823323
>>106813721Klingons are based bottom-title-bar enjoyers
>>106816795
>>106822560We can go farther. Deconstruct the whole thing. The entire desktop just an abstract array of shapes and text with no coherency whatsoever.
>>106823834Many have tried...
>>106815016>anon doesn't read his food
>>106817281>That thing has 0 nutrients.That is factually false. Now you're wrong both scientifically and literarily.
