So now I have to learn to remember to grab bigger pictures near some
edge. And I really can't see *any* valid benefit for having to drag
the picture. I'd rather have it the old way, where the mouse pointer
simply changes shape, so you know you're dragging. Damn, damn...)
On my system, dragging the image drags a translucent copy of the
image, so I can still see where my mouse pointer is aimed. Maybe you
don't have enough colors enabled on your screen?
Sure it looks good, and the computer owner can brag to the guy in the
next cubicle, etc. But there should be some obvious or useful
*purpose* for dragging entire pictures where a mouse pointer would be
clearer, cleaner, easier for the user, and use less computer cycles.
I mean, who's such a nutcase that he forgets halfway in the dragging,
what it is he's dragging?
One thing that does annoy me is if you are doing this over a slow RDP
link, the eye candy isn't worth it.
I was never a huge fan of application themes. I don't mind a theme for
the whole system (as long as it's simple), but I don't want iTunes to
look different just because it can. I think it has been discussed
before that most video editors have the slickest GUI, with real-looking
knobs and "led's", but the video editing part of it is buggy as hell.
You're the first one to comment on the actual issue!!! :-)
Those video editors, iTunes and such look like they're programmed by
12-year olds. Somewhere there should be an adult saying what not to do!
I bet the guy who did this never expected that whole-picture dragging
actually uses more electricity in your computer. When every Firefox user
(and the others "who have to implement this too, so as not to look
inferior!") in the whole world drags whole pictures, the combined
increase in world electric usage rises well above his day-job salary.
Greenpeace ought to shoot him.
