![]() If you have a contrary color set for an accent color on Windows 10 you can see that the standard window chrome for a Modern UI app is a 1px box around the outside of the window (so they're only affected by the accent color if they feel like it). Wedging in minimize/maximize/restore icons came later, but they didn't bother to wedge the application icon back in. Modern UI applications don't show the icon, presumably because they didn't need one with the limited set of positions allowed for them (fullscreen or snapped) in Windows 8. Sadly, too many programs nowadays override the standard window controls for no good reason. I install LeafPad uninstall gedit and make sure mimes are correctly use it by defaultĪlso pdf files in gedit always show some random and meaningless title, they apparently read from some tag that no pdf writer fills in with a good title.įucking kill the bastard, along with most of Gnome and just improve the Cinnamon The Control Menu (Alt-Space menu) is there in Windows 10, showing the application's icon, if the application doesn't override the standard window controls.And gedit self-righteously tries to help and interpret things as UTF, or not.

I don't so much hope gedit dies in a fire, I hope GNOME does. ![]() There's dozens of reasonable text editors to choose from, like kwrite/kate, sublime, or for people hating sane keyboard shortcuts there's always vim/emacs.Īnd get the fucking toolbar buttons out of my window decorations. This thing has about feature parity with notepad, with added bonus of eye-cancer inducing UI. This is what gedit looks like more recently: ![]() The hipsters can't stand for usable software, of course. The major functionality was easily available, and the UI was extremely intuitive and efficient to use. It's a text editor that comes with GNOME. Hipsters are killing open source projects left and right with their fucking awful UI changes. Which brings me to today's side WTF: who the hell uses gedit in the first place?
