Hello everyone! Here is a mockup picture I made for my idea of elimination of the titlebar for the maximized windows. Please check the attachment and excuse my poor Gimp skills. IMHO, titlebar just wastes precious screen real estate so when an user maxemizes a window the whole window border would grow outside the screen and dissappear, while the titlebar would be shrinked in the panel window list (I used ubuntu-mobile window picker here). That window list item would display title, restore and close buttons. Clicking on the title would minimize the window so there is no need for minimize button here. Restoring a window would shrink the window returning its' border and titlebar. I think this would be a nice way to decrease the clutter and wasting of the vertical screen space. Another thing I would like to discuss is the menu bar... almost every window has it and I think most users use it rarely so there is no need for it to be present at all times, maybe we could add a button in the gui somewhere (say, on the window toolbar or something) that would toggle the menu bar for that window. Please discuss :-) I am looking for the ways to contribute myself but coming from the windows world of Visual Studio I am a bit intimidated and have no idea where to start. Cheers, Igor P.S. I love the work done so far.
