Comment on Why is UI design backsliding?
AA5B@lemmy.world 1 week agoWow, you can fit one whole browser window on it … with headlines.
Even back in the CRT days, I could have a couple windows, such as email, text, and IDE
- my email program now has huge wasted ui space so might take up the whole laptop screen, leaving me thing. Email is not work, but something on the side for communication that shouldn’t interfere with work
- my text chat is no longer a tiny rectangle in the corner but has huge wasted ui space and wants to take up an entire laptop screen. Even that is sometimes not enough. Text is not work, text is somethign on the side that shouldn’t interfere with work
- my IDE has huge waste UI space and no longer fits any useable workspace on a laptop screen

I easily fit my browser on it (displaying a reasonably-sized page without content being cut off) with a file manager at the side, which is what I had open at the time.
I don’t know what you wanted me to show you. 4 windows in a quadrant layout? That would be doable too, for most programs.
I was refuting your point that laptops are unusable because of modern UX - clearly they aren’t.
I thought we were talking about laptops! Now you’re talking about a monitor on a desk?
As I just showed you, you can have multiple windows open on a laptop. My laptop isn’t even large, it’s just a usual 14.something" laptop.
You should go into your display settings and turn your scaling down, because it seems to me you’ve got scaling set at 200% or something lol
