Let me Hug your Window


We've recently had a discussion over here social.trom.tf/display/dbc8dc4… about how Thunderbirdßs update is in fact not that "cool", but less functional, and how the theming and window managing is starting to become more broken on Linux because many developers seem to not think of their apps in terms of usability and respecting the user's choices and their system.


Well there are a few things that look a bit more polished, but not respecting the system's theme, not exporting the menu for HUD functionality, not using the system's native window decoration, Thunderbird is in the same boat as Gnome apps.

Not made for the Linux community, but made for themselves, enforcing whatever design decisions they want. And with some themes the corners look broken, and I tested hundreds of apps but Thunderbird is the only culprit so far.

How come functionality is not something we should be excited about?
