nah, i agree with you. win explorer with qttabbar, tortoisegit, and some tweaks from winaerotweaker
dolphin is pretty good though and it has some features that explorer doesn’t, like a terminal pane

but …surely you could just do the same thing with the old design? artist’s rendition:
in fact, now i look at it, it makes them look even more similar once i collapse the sidebar
meh, subjectively i find that creates a “worst of both worlds” situation. but this comment was more about the futility of the development time that went into this specific feature
maybe; but if the location of menu buttons hints at their use then the hamburger should collapse the side drawer like the one on e.g. youtube, but i doubt it does
I had to look up Fitts’s law, and I’m not sure I get it. Could you explain what you mean?
basically; the speed that it takes to click a button is dependant on the size of the button and the distance from the cursor. however, buttons at the edge of the screen have effectively infinite size, as they can’t be overshot. the most used actions should be placed there, as they are the easiest to click by muscle memory (particularly the corners, as they have infinite size in both dimensions)
on windows, kde, cinnamon, etc.; by default the bottom left is start, the bottom right is show desktop (this one i can’t explain), and the top right is close maximised window. the top of the screen is also used for other window-related actions like minimise, restore, change csd tabs, etc.
gnome flouts this by having most of the top of the screen doing nothing (most of it is completely empty) apart from rarely used actions like calendar and power. and the bottom right and left doing nothing[1]
did i explain well?
ETA: I kinda feel like mine was about KDE not being a fit for me personally, and yours was a slam on Gnome rather than a statement of personal preference.
nah it was very much a personal thing: some people like having a minimal and clutter-free feature set; i like having as many features as possible, because then i find features i didn’t even know i liked.[2]
as for the top bar: this one confuses me - it just seems objectively bad. but obviously it’s not as some people clearly like it. i haven’t had anyone actually explain to me why, though
i didn’t know how useful a terminal embedded in the file manager would be until i started using dolphin, now i can’t do without it ↩︎
every time i try to use gnome, i end up spending all my time going “dammit, where are all the bleeding features”
(also the lack of fitts’ law adherence due to that pointless bar at the top)
yep, that’s me
i’m not even sure it’s worth having an option. i don’t think i’d even have noticed a difference, apart from the menu button being in a slightly different place to every other gnome app. it’s fine; but it wasn’t worth the development time
who even decides what’s “modern” anymore?
edit: people are getting confused by the fact that one is tree view, not icons view so i changed the image. old image here
further building on this and what a1_15 said, i’ve just discovered that long-pressing on the fab brings up all the possible options; which is much better for one-handed use
long-pressing the “eternity” title seems to work, oddly
i don’t know why this input was chosen, or how discoverable it is; but it works
i will bear that in mind, although i’m currently a focussing on trying to get the imaginary network up and running, so that’s first (plus i don’t even really want to mod anything, i’m just doing it because i want these lemmyspheres to exist, and no-one else was)
i will ping you when/if i do make one though
i did have /r/gruvbox on reddit actually, i’ve been considering bringing it over here although i didn’t really think there’d be enough interest
oh yeah good idea, thank you

this looks pretty cool actually, i hadn’t heard of this
also; lemmysphere instance agnostic link: !retrodeck@lemmy.zip
well it’d obviously have to be digital, and it would be nice if it were secure as well
maybe down the line we could get a high capacity version, or even xtreme capacity
