Anton KudinHow do you endure this, windows users? #uigore
Catweazle@antonkudin , from the opposite site.
XdanielArt@antonkudin I use windows maximized most of the time and resize fronm the opposite corner, so not a big deal for me, I also use W10, but this can help https://stefansundin.github.io/altdrag/
grayhaze@antonkudin By never resizing a window from the top right corner. 😀
@grayhaze sadness
@antonkudin I also use ExplorerPatcher on Windows 11, which enables you to get rid of the rounded corners on windows. Makes things a little easier.
rett 🏳️🌈@antonkudin I use AltSnap. It's a utility that lets you resize/move windows from anywhere on it. Personally I change the hotkeys to win+lmb to move and win+rmb to resize. https://github.com/RamonUnch/AltSnap
Kyzrati@antonkudin I don't use square corners, and even though top-right corner is doable without much trouble, I like to work really fast so to avoid accidentally closing windows I always make sure the top right corner is where I want it and pull some other corner to resize precisely.
@Kyzrati what a failed ui design
@antonkudin It could definitely be better, although I measured it and the behavior is technically identical at every corner so the high sensitivity is not really an issue with the top right alone :P (just stems from the fact that there's a button there so if you're acting fast it's more "dangerous" to use, yeah...)
Matt Purchase@antonkudin any time I have to dive into the win95 style control panel, because a setting wasn’t available in the *modern* control panel I lose a little more of my humanity.
silentw@antonkudin I don't think about it at all. Now that I have, it's just the logical collision of 2 controls.
There's nothing explicitly WRONG with allowing this interaction - it's worse, IMO, to break the rule that governs window resizing handles than it is to worry about someone... trying to resize a window and accidentally closing it? I can't see a use case where this would cause an actual problem for a user.
Far worse is the case of MacOS where closing the primary window of an application doesn't always terminate the application and just leaves it invisibly hanging around in the background.
Graham Sutherland / Polynomial@antonkudin by not upgrading to Win11. all the technical stuff under the hood in Win11 is fine, but Microsoft's frontend designers went completely off the rails in recent years. total mess.
@antonkudin oh I just realised your post was a year old. sorry for the necrobump!
