[suggestion] Use '+' symbol in maximize window button #65

Closed ghost closed 6 years ago

ghost commented 6 years ago

Hello, thank you for these perfect themes!

I would like to suggest use of '+' instead of the two triangles in the maximize button (hover). 1- because the two arrows stay the same even if window is maximized which is incoherent 2- because arrows are pointing to the right even for people who use buttons at left (same as MacOS) 3- '+' is more neutral and is coherent in any scenario 4- Two arrows are often met as a "fullscreen" rather than as a "maximize" meaning 5- Not sure about this one but if I remember well it's what original Mac OSX themes use

Yeah, + = Maximise, <> = Full Screen

Elbullazul commented 6 years ago

Does mac act like this? If not, I can provide alternate PNGs but would keep the macOS style buttons

ghost commented 6 years ago

Confirmed: macOS doesn't use double arrows but a '+'. Look here (scroll down). And as we said double arrows are more for "fullscreen" than "maximize".

Add the other points from my first comment and I think that we have good reasons to see a '+' in this button.

PS: of course I speak of button while hovering, normal state is just plain color.

Ok, will commit corrections soon, thanks for helping us improve this theme!

Hello, are you still working on it?

Elbullazul commented 6 years ago

Haven't had time, had to first upgrade the pc and install Linux on it. Maybe I'll do it this week

@DarthWound There again, I just thought of something: Personally, I always found it weird because the + didn't seem to actually maximise the window, but instead change it to a second user-defined size.

ghost commented 6 years ago

Well, in macOS, behaviour is a bit different than on usual GNU/Linux window managers or on Windows. It changes window size to fit content, so often the result is that window is maximized but not always. To maximize a window you have to hit Option key while clicking on the +.

I'm not a macOS user, only GNU/Linux, but I'm quite upset to see that 99,9% of themes are copying an old "fullscreen" button that was introduced in Yosemite and disappeared since Sierra (it means that this "fullscreen" button was only there during 2 versions of macOS).

thanks to both, corrective has been pushed, will soon commit to macOS Dark for same corrections
