Description Jakub Steiner 2012-03-08 13:30:03 UTC
EOG should not mimic apps like Boxes or Documents in terms of a maximized state as it relies on interaction with the menubar. Having the menubar so close to shell's top bar creates interaction issues (and the lack of titlebar solves none). Image viewer is a candidate of working in fullscreen rather than maximized.
Comment 1 Felix Riemann 2012-03-09 23:02:44 UTC
The issue this was meant to fix  was to increase the vertical screen space available to the image view. If you disable the tool-,status- and sidebar now after maximizing you will get as much screen space as possible without going fullscreen.


I guess with "interaction issue" you mean accidential triggering of the activities menu. Is it really that much of an issue? I have to admit I haven't played much with the hidden toolbar myself because I'm having trouble running unstable GNOME Shell. Generally I was under the impression that the most important actions can be attached to the toolbar. Converting the menu into an app menu is also not an option. Hmm,....

I'll think about it.
Comment 2 Jakub Steiner 2012-03-11 20:55:12 UTC
Yes the close proximity of the hot corner to the menu will most definitely cause major pain with a tiny target that is a menubar.
Comment 3 Felix Riemann 2012-03-17 12:57:12 UTC
Hmm, let's take it out again for this cycle until we can test this a bit more thouroughly for the next one. I'll request the UI freeze break.

Although it makes me wonder why the menubar is moved up at all in these cases as accidentially triggering the activities menu becomes a problem for every app having a menubar then, no?
Comment 4 Felix Riemann 2012-03-18 18:02:13 UTC
Alright, reverted it for 3.4 and will reopen the original bug (#668652) to revisit it for 3.6 and decide whether to reinclude it, leave it out or possibly make it a plugin.

    Revert "Do not show the titlebar when eog is maximized."
    
    This reverts commit c93aa0b94ba6142c78ea5025a56a0f70c6fc0739.
    As the menubar comes pretty close to the top of the screen,
    there is apperently the possibility to accidentially trigger
    gnome-shell's activities menu. Revisit this for the next development
    cycle when all the dependencies are stable enough.
