Why is UI design backsliding?
(lemmy.zip)
Why did UI's turn from practical to form over function?
E.g. Office 2003 vs Microsoft 365
It's easy to remember where everything is with a toolbar and menu bar, which allows access to any option in one click and hold move.
Seriously? Big ribbon and massive padding wasting space, as well as the ribbon being clunky to use.
Why did this happen?
I easily fit my browser on it (displaying a reasonably-sized page without content being cut off) with a file manager at the side, which is what I had open at the time.
I don't know what you wanted me to show you. 4 windows in a quadrant layout? That would be doable too, for most programs.
I was refuting your point that laptops are unusable because of modern UX - clearly they aren't.
I thought we were talking about laptops! Now you're talking about a monitor on a desk?
As I just showed you, you can have multiple windows open on a laptop. My laptop isn't even large, it's just a usual 14.something" laptop.
You should go into your display settings and turn your scaling down, because it seems to me you've got scaling set at 200% or something lol
