@c045e74e Which menu are you referring to, the minimize/maximize/always on top one?
Taking a step back, what problem are you experiencing that this would solve?
@f4c84b9f Yeah, definitely waaaay better than the default Mastodon web app. It's like, the only part of the ecosystem that still looks like 2012.
Unfortunately it's also basically the only full-featured client with all the settings, and also what everyone is faces with when they register. Terrible first impression :/
@f4c84b9f I assume you mean web clients? At least according to this list there's not many native ones, and the ones I briefly looked up just now seem pretty meh.
@6501cbc9 I'm curious, what's the appeal of using third party icon themes these days?
Back in the old days there were some decent quality themes that provided consistent alternatives for low quality icons, but nowadays most apps ship with pretty great icons to begin with. Whenever I see themes now their icons are just worse recreations of an already consistent set.
@bd8fb510 Much better than GNOME Software, at the Flathub level we actually have a single set of apps (instead of a confusing mix of repos and formats), the ability to build moderation tools, and a feedback loop with app developers :)
@dab6c781 Yes, appdata needs to be fixed upstream and changing it requires at least basic git knowledge. I don't know of any efforts to provide friendlier UIs for this kind of contribution, but that's a cool idea :)
@dab6c781 Up to the respective app developers :)
Anything following the appdata guidelines would qualify, which currently almost nobody does in every respect. GNOME apps tend to be among the best ones when it comes to icons and summaries, but e.g. screenshots are also not great everywhere. There's LOTS of work to do across the ecosystem to improve appdata quality.
The metadata we'd need for this doesn't exist yet, but there's initial work in this direction, with the updated appdata quality guidelines: https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/appdata-guidelines/quality-guidelines
No idea if/when/how this will materialize, but if you want your app to be ready when time comes, make sure you follow the guidelines :)
I really miss using Paper for notes, but it's been unmaintained for quite some time.

Would be awesome if someone were to pick it up again and continue development 🙃️
@c70b9e50 Good question, that kind of app wit lots of sidebars etc. is a bit trickier than others. We'll have to look into this for Builder et al too, so I guess we'll develop more established patterns for that kind of layout over time :)

@1c20af92 Maybe, but it's a pretty common pattern across apps so I don't think people would have problems finding it.
Alternatively maybe these actions could just live in the primary menu since there's only two?
It's super cool that you can easily switch to Fedora 39 pre-release on Silverblue, but it's not very helpful for QA if some modules are not updated for 3+ weeks :/
Like, the activities indicator in GNOME Shell and the Files split view are still not in 39, and the .0 release is this week. It's a big missed opportunity, because it means any issues we'll find via daily usage won't be fixed until the first point release...
@1c20af92 I wouldn't left-align the title, this layout is all about the central axis. Perhaps the secondary menu could be all the way at the top, next to the close button?
The marquee is dope though 🤩
