Trying to get Liquid Glass to work is such a clown show. Incredible. The UI wasn’t perfect before. It’s slowly been getting worse with each of their dumb updates to make it look more like iOS over the years. What we’re forced to use now is just a joke. Ignoring all the visual design issues they can’t even make basic stuff fully functional.
I’ve tried many apps for window resizing on Mac, and none feel like they’re nearly as good as FancyZones (the PowerToys module for Windows). I don’t want secret squirrel key combos. I don’t want hot corners. I want two things: - Predefined zones à la FancyZones - Tied edges (there’s surely a better term for this) so that I can grab the edge between two apps and have them both resize together (one gets smaller as the…

Yeah window management and the desktop experience in general on Mac just feels like I'm dragging my hands through tar. For example, "open two file browsers, navigate to $home in one and $downloads in the other, move and rename a few files between them" is a 10 second task on Windows (Win+E x2, quick clicks on the explorer links, easy to scroll around, move files, drag, rename, anything you want). On Mac I get about 7…
> After command shift 4 to take a screenshot I think it's actually physically impossible to edit it within 60 seconds. This is completely incorrect, and the solution is way more discoverable than needing to know obscure things like Win+E. Click the thumbnail that appears in the bottom right, then click the marker icon. > For example, "open two file browsers, navigate to $home in one and $downloads in the other, move…
Since the first taste of Linux WMs, I believe the best and only good way of handling window move and resize is super+lmb/rmb respectively. No more pixel-perfect header/corner sniping! https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/qv0vmz/missing_supe...
I get the cult of Steve is a bit oversold but the proprietor liked to check the finish on the car rolling out the end of the line and if his fingers felt a rough edge on a panel he had no compunction stopping the production line to find the problem. The current generation have a bit too much "fixed in post" going on.

Yeah, it was one of those things I noticed when I first started using Linux and wondered why every other OS didn't just copy it.
On the Mac side where key combos and modifier use is more widespread among users, it’s probably because there’s no intuitive visual that can be associated with the interaction.
Doesn't the cursor change into a pair of arrows when you hover over the clickable area?
Steve Jobs is rolling in his grave.
I’m a Windows guy, but was given a MacBook for my current job. Fair enough. But I laugh at how horrendous such a simple thing as resizing windows is. Want Slack to take up the right third of a screen then fill the rest with browser? In Windows, it takes 2 seconds. Not on Mac. I have to resize the window myself? There’s no auto-snap? I’m sure someone will buzz in with some hidden way to do it. ‘Hold cmd-shft-9 then sa…
This has been built in since Sequoia. It’s literally dragging the window like aero snap. https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/change-window-tilin...
