@movq@www.uninformativ.de https://movq.de/blog/postings/2026-07-03/0/POSTING-en.html Oh yeah, the toolbar handles. You could actually move the toolbars around and sometimes even customize them. I have no evidence, but to me it feels like a lot of programs don’t allow that anymore nowadays.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org This apparently depends on the program now … Some Qt6 programs still allow that, others don’t. I can’t remember if GTK ever had that feature. 🤔 But yeah, this whole “move stuff around as you please”-mentality is mostly gone.

I know I keep referring to StarOffice 3.1 a lot, but it’s just such a good example for all these things. All the toolbars and panels could be rearranged:

(This is running in Wine, btw.)

LibreOffice is the descendant of StarOffice and it doesn’t support anything like that anymore.

Maybe it was deemed too confusing for users? “Oh no, I mis-clicked something and now that bar is gone! How do I get it back? I don’t even know what it’s called!” 🤔
