That's UI design, a dark art mere mortals like you and me won't ever understand.
Gnome apps running on my PC:
I don't use Gnome
Bottom text
"Modern" UI design be like: fat paddings everywhere
Don't forget:
Also, no right-click menus! You have to click on a three-dot icon at the side of that UI component
MOAR WHITESPACE
don't you just fucking love
paddings!
(apologies to everyone whose device can't render HTML entities)
maybe this works on more devices?
paddings!
That's not padding that's pre!
i was going to ask what it was supposed to look like, then i opened a reply text and all i see is
Unfortunately, beyond the standard Markdown elements, there is zero feature parity between various front-ends and their Markdown renderers.
Why is Charlie Kirk’s face so big in this?
Never got the Mac trend of not using your full screen. I get even less why Gnome copied it.
I think I missed this trend. I've been full-screening almost everything on macOS for years
I'm not sure I understand... GTK can use full screens...
This is what I am referring to. Many macOS people work like this:
I've been forced onto a shit mac book with this stupid OS for the first time in my life and spend 90% of the tine interacting with it basically trying to work around how bad window management and many other things are. Hacks and custom apps and changing options to try to make sense of it. I'm in this hell hole for 2 months now. I still have no idea or feeling for how or when windows behave or if they even become maximized or not. I hate it all.
The worst offender is opening the system settings and it's a stupid window that can't be maximized in anyway whatsoever and just sits there looking like an horrendous thing being frustrating.
But after using it I've finally understood where so many bad decisions gnome for example is stealing their ideas from.
Amen. Moved countries, started a new job. They forced me into OSX and gsuite.
I've been stuck in that for over 6 years now.
So can OSX for some time now it gives a full screen program it’s own workspace type screen
Okay so I remember seeing this exact post yesterday. Not that this is stolen, like this exact post. I read some of the comments and chuckled because tiny face Charlie Kirk is funny. I saw a picture of him on a video this morning and never realized that HIS FACE IS ACTUALLY KINDA LIKE THAT WHY IS IT SO SMALL AND CENTERED.
Holy fuck, you are right. This is from his Wikipedia page:
I enjoy using Gnome and don't really encounter any issues in my day to day use
(pls don't kill me :))
I don't like using GNOME desktop or apps, but that's not because its bad or less capable for my usage. I just don't prefer their design philosophies. I'm grateful that it exists nonetheless. Linux desktop users are spoiled by how many great choices we have.
I don't like Gnome, but I am glad it works for you. At the end of the day Gnome is better than Windows, Mac, and CDE.
I used to be a GNOME fanatic a couple of years ago. I switched to KDE after I got tired of the perpetually broken state of extensions.
I’m still thankful for all the effort and commitment the GNOME devs have invested over the years though! It’s an excellent desktop environment!
Proper GTK4 adwaita apps don't do that. They scale really well on mobiles to desktops.
Counterargument:
Admittedly this is a chat app, so there's little to do. But still, it could stretch out a little bit more, maybe open the conversation info panel on the right
That looks like it's just wrapping a WebView, is it not?
It looks like the CSS is just capping the container class width at 1440px, which has nothing to do with GTK
It's Fractal, a matrix client, not a webview: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/fractal
Fair - point still stands though - the application only has a single breakpoint defined at 600sp from a cursory glance, the lack of an ultra-wide specific layout is just because it hasn't been implemented rather than a shortfall of GTK (though I'm not sure you would even want to make the message view wider, as it would impair readability)
Damn, did you enlarge Charlie's face for the meme? 😆
Friends don't let friends use GNOME

Gnome does have a lot of strong points, I personally use both

Can somebody tell me how to change that in Mint Cinnamon? I really don't like the padded bar at the top of every window.
This is why I don't use GNOME apps on a tiling WM. They always have an absurd amount of padding.
Time for a scrolling window manager
