Tabs for window, then what, subtabs where we normally have tabs now?
Love separate windows, I can move them onto separate desktops, even
separate monitors on some systems.
I can totally agree with you. And what if I want to do something like
open two Word documents side by side to cut/paste/compare? How do I do
that in a "full screen app" environment/interface? Apple does do
seperate desktop Spaces - but only assignable to each app...so all Word
docs would go to Space 1, for ex. So that's not going to work...and yeah
- what do you do with multiple monitors? *Can* you still even use
multiple monitors?..
I'm an Apple *disciple*, and I think they've really screwed up with this
idea. At least I can go look at it in an Apple store before I make my
mind up completely about it, but from some of the user comments I read
on Macintouch I don't anticipate that Lion is going to roar for me.
Ah, excuse me, I have not trialed the 10.7-pre-releases.
But from what I read and saw, the new full-screen is optional:
You have your normal desktop, spaces (=virtual desktops), and windows as
before.
When you want, you can zoom application adapted for this into
full-screen mode. If you don't, you don't.

(And note the previews depicts MB Air models - not the Cinema display or
iMacs - full screen is good for small screen, not for huge ones.)
The whole thing will be held together by the advanced "application UI
browsing":
http://www.apple.com/macosx/whats-new/mission-control.html
Here you navigate "widgets", normal windows, virtual desktops (based on
windows, not applications) and full screen applications.
Sounds like new options, not a complete crapping of the UI.
Windows did this since the beginning - usually used by games, but any
application could to so there. As do "full screen video playback"
programs on all OS. And there is a "Kiosk" mode for FF...
It may be, that some applications will internally restructure due to
that - but it's not, that 10.7 Lion ships "without window manager".
I'm sure, nobody will kill the productivity and flexibility gained by
using the window concept.
However, if Apple wants to get customers they acquired via iOS to buy
MacOS, they might want to offer them a bridge...
To me not too far off-topic: I'm pretty sure SM does not have to change
a thing for the UI to be fully operational. Maybe Kiosk mode can be
mapped to "full screen" icon/button, but that's about anything I'd expect.
Best regards
Philipp,
hoping we can put this topic to rest, wait for released software and
rant only after we have tried it. Thanks. :-)
