The struggle of resizing windows on macOS Tahoe

I would highly recommend Magnets to anyone users who prefer shortcuts anyway: https://magnet.crowdcafe.com/

I agree it makes using my computer worse, but I'd like to see how far Apple is willing to go here.

They won't do perfectly circular windows, that would be crazy— but I think we all know they can go further than this.

Let's be honest, everything windows on macOS is and always has been an utter cluster fuck.

the macOS window manager has been awful for many years

From "Safari 15 on Mac OS, a user interface mess" https://morrick.me/archives/9368 from 5 years ago:

--- start quote ---

The utter user-interface butchery happening to Safari on the Mac is once again the work of people who put iOS first. People who by now think in iOS terms. People who view the venerable Mac OS user interface as an older person whose traits must be experimented upon, plastic surgery after plastic surgery, until this person looks younger. Unfortunately the effect is more like this person ends up looking… weird.

These people look at the Mac’s UI and (that’s the impression, at least) don’t really understand it. Its foundations come from a past that almost seems inscrutable to them. Usability cues and features are all wrinkles to them. iOS and iPadOS don’t have these strange wrinkles, they muse. We must hide them. We’ll make this spectacular facelift and we’ll hide them, one by one. Mac OS will look as young (and foolish, cough) as iOS!

At the time it was only Safari that they wanted to "modernize". Now it's the full OS.

Darkest before the dawn

I will never update to tahoe. if it becomes forced I'll switch to linux idgaf

Another thing to add to the list of reasons why I'm not upgrading.

Imagine Steve Jobs allowing this to happen.

I find MacOS terrible (any version) and wish my employer would not force Mac upon me. I hope one day we will be able to use Linux on Mac hardware (in enterprise setting).

>Living on this planet for quite a few decades, I have learned that it rarely works to grab things if you don’t actually touch them:

Yes, but that is skeuomorphic design, which is old and ugly. We live in the era of anti-skeuomorphic design, where nothing makes any sense but it looks sleek.

This is so simple.

This makes me angry.
