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

@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.
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.

@hucker That would be the exception.
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.
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?

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

@hucker What are you talking about? The color doesn't change when it's maximized.
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.
The point is we all have different preferences, and they should be left in there. All you need to do is look at the millions of complaints every time Microsoft removes something from Windows. The millions of people using programs like Startallback and Classic Shell. What use is the new start menu? I'm presented with about 20 adverts for games I don't want to install, followed by only 6 "recommended" things, which is a mess of documents I've just opened and programs it thinks I might want. The old menu was very sensible. A customisable number of apps listed in the order of most used. To open any program I click only twice, the start button then the program. Like this:

@hucker How can't I or anyone not use less email? It's been less and less required each day.
Email nowadays is basically to get offers and notifications. Eventually to get links to confirm a new account or the change the password of an existing one.
Sales and purchases on Ebay. Bank statements. Messages from friends worldwide. Messages from relatives worldwide. Notification of a reply in countless forums. I read about 50 to 100 a day! It's this thing called the internet, and email is an excellent place to gather every incoming communication. Plus there's a the newsgroups in the same program. Try using that on the web, ugh!

@hucker Webmails nowadays are better than a decade ago. I have an Outlook based email and there is no noticeable difference between using it in the webmail or in the app.
I wouldn't use their app either. MS have never made a decent email program. I've only ever used Netscape email (back in the 90s) then Opera.
There's a big difference in speed when what you're clicking is on a 3500MB/sec NVME drive 2 feet to your left or a disk 1000 miles away through a connection passing through hundreds of routers.

@hucker The color in the title bar is for you to know which app is the active one. If the app is maximized, you know already that it is the active one. At least with one monitor.
You seem to keep changing what you're saying. Just now you said the colour is still present when it's maximised, then you say it isn't.
And who uses one monitor? Somebody who only goes on their computer once a day to read facebook?
