      @hucker Right, but the title bar color wouldn't make any difference with the app maximized.

        @hucker Opera Mail is from more than a decade ago, things were different back on that time.

          Being maximised doesn't change what the title bar colour does.

            Yes, different as in they worked. Everything gets less sensible as time goes on. The number of things they've removed in Windows 11 since Windows 7 is absurd. The start menu is completely unusable, you have to install 3rd party software to make it work again. Modern apps are so vague, you just have to hope they're going to do what you say. There's no standard for changing settings - some things require an ok/apply button, some change instantly. Will it stay the way I put it or should I look for an ok button?

              I still use it, it's a brilliant program and they should never have abandoned it. I use it for email and newgroups and it's got a brilliant filtering/sorting system. Only drawback is the index gets very clogged up and I have to do regular tidying up.

                @hucker It's maximized, you are seeing it, it's the active app. No need to use any color.

                  @leocg But it does, I still get the correct foreground colour in most apps when they're maximised.

                  And you're forgetting some people have more than one monitor. I have 5! Not enough room on one.

                    @hucker Hmm, it seems that someone has some difficulties in adapting to changes. Or it would be that someone needs to get some attention and start complaining about things that have been there for a long time?

                      @hucker I was an Opera Mail user when it was part of Opera Presto. When it becomes a standalone app, I just realized that I didn't need an email client.

                        @hucker That would be the exception.

                          Which change are you saying is for the better? I've seen no improvements anywhere, just less personalisation and less consistency.

                            How can you not use email? Email is needed for everything nowadays. Please don't tell me you prefer webmail. That's a cobbled together workaround for accessing email when you're on holiday.

                              Even if you have one monitor (which means you don't take your computer seriously), why change the colour just because it's maximised? There needs to be two colours for when they're not maximised. Why have a third colour?

                                @hucker I didn't say anything about it being good or bad, I was talking about adaption to changes.

                                  @hucker I use email, although 90% less than a decade ago, but I don't use an email client. I just use webmail.

                                    That's my point, it's not changes, it's removal of things. Where is most recently used in the start menu? I start every single program using that. I had to install 3rd party software. Why remove it?

                                        How can you use email less? Every single thing you do online needs password confirmations etc. Contact for everything is by email, I don't get bank statements by post anymore. I got the notification you'd posted in here through email. It's used for absolutely everything.

                                        How can you use webmail? It's so basic and clumsy. You're actually accessing your own emails on a server somewhere else, introducing pointless delays when you click anything.

                                          You're the one who told me it did.
                                          "It's maximized, you are seeing it, it's the active app. No need to use any color."
                                          "Right, but the title bar color wouldn't make any difference with the app maximized."

                                            @hucker Well, removal of things is a change.

                                            And if something has been removed, it's probably because few people use it or because people prefer other ways of doing the same thing.
