Does anyone genuinely like this? I was relieved to see it can be turned off.

One thing I noticed is that the inactive window gets a shadow on it. I wonder if that can also be turned off.

i3-gaps has been available since at least 2018 (according to their repo) and has since been merged into mainline i3. So there's clearly a market for that aesthetic. You not liking a design choice doesn't mean no one does.

doesn't mean no one does.

Think they’re here genuinely looking for those users so they can learn more.

I thought it was a bug or something and searched it up once but forget the rationale. (Gap at top of window between menu bar)

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Probably the same people who introduced the gap between the menu bar and the actual menus.

The gap acts as a divider to resize the side-by-side windows at once. Does that work if you turn it off?

[–] Link@rentadrunk.org 6 points 2 weeks ago

Yes every other OS allows you to resize windows just fine without the divider.

I’m not sure, I just tested it in an Apple Store. I’ll pickup a MacBook Air this October.
