no it fucking doenst. it should fit to fucking screen.

>>58596351
>close button doesn't close
it actually does what a close button should do, closing the window. On windows it closes the window AND quits the fucking program, they merged Cmd+W and Cmd+Q in one which is pretty dumb imo, so you must have at least one window of that program open if you want to keep the program running.

>minimize button doesn't minimize
it does, dunno why you're saying that.

>maximize button doesn't maximize
it's a fullscreen button.

>close button doesn't close
It closes windows, not applications. You need to manually close applications. Use Cmd+Q

>minimize button doesn't minimize
Of course it does.

>maximize button doesn't maximize
Because "maximize" is a useless feature from the 90s back when people had enough pixels to display one window at a time. You're retarded to be using it these days. Applications like photoshop allow you to "maximize" instead of going fullscreen, so the developers themselves have choice on how the green button functions.

I didn't know winbabies had such a hard time remembering keyboard shortcuts.

A better analogy would be if you had two different lights in the room. The Windows version would give you one switch to control both lights, while the OSX version would have two switches, each controlling a light.

>>58598156

>>58597183
No response because it the argument makes no sense.

>>58598397
thats just firefox being bad, nothing else does that

>>58596472
You know, that makes a lot of sense.

But so do standards. It means you can expect behavior. Part of the reason why keyboard shortcuts and such are the same across many different Operating Systems is because it makes it easy for users who use switch between different Operating Systems to be able to use them without having to learn a whole new Operating System.

>>58598244
No, a better analogy would be a light that you cant see that's burning in some closed off corridor, and optical cables bring that light into the room. hitting the light switch only moves the cables out of alignment, but that light bulb is still on wasting resources

It should also be noted that on Windows now with the "apps" that used to be Metro applications but now free float, also don't kill the process when you close the window, which is sometimes good, sometimes bad.

I prefer my applications to live in the systray if they are going to remain headless, that way I can know they are there and exit them if necessary without having to resort to killing a process.

>>58598438

That's stupid.

A better analogy is that Windows users don't know the fucking difference between a GUI and a process

>>58596351
Just remember that Close for Mac Users means hide window, while for Windows Users means close application.

holy moly!

Launch Notepad to jot down some temporary notes.
Want to open a second notepad window for a separate set of notes. Hit control-N. Windows wants to close the first window first. Why?

>>58598450
Expected behavior under Windows is that if you close the window and the application doesn't live in the systray then the process should also stop.

Potentially there could be a service running behind the application though, but in most cases that isn't the case.

>>58598474
Because that's the shortcut for a new file in the current window you dufus. Just hold shift and click the notepad icon in the taskbar.

>>58598474
Ctrl-N is new file, not new window, and Notepad is too much of a shitty editor to edit multiple files in a single instance. For new window (or, rather, new app instance), hold shift and click the notepad icon in taskbar.

>>58598471
Because you're comparing a CLI to a GUI.
Proper analogy would be complaining that the syntax for CP/M, a Linux CLI, Atari DOS, etc isn't like (MS)DOS. Or even niggling about differences between shell environments.

>>58597078
>closes the window in some programs

It does whichever makes the most sense.

For a program that deals with multiple windows (web browser, word processor, terminal emulator, etc.) hitting the close button closes the window but not the program.

For a program that only use a single window (Calculator, SysPrefs, etc.), it'll quit the program.

>>58598530
Of course. Windows is the most commonly used GUI based Operating System after all.

>>58598156
bullshit. that is not how it behaves. you have to maximize it to whatever size it chooses, and then stretch to fit the screen, and only then will it remember, and do the same later.

Calm down Chad.

I can literally fuck with macOS through terminal if I want.

It's the best mainstream OS ever made -- and Winshit has been trying to copy it ever since Winblows ME.

Also all the shitty "Expose" rip off crap looks terrible on Windows and so behind the curve it's not even funny.

I have both Winshit 10 and macOS Sierra installed on a Hackintosh and I have a Retina MacBook pro for mobile work -- macOS is still incredible and fun to work with.

Like when? And why would you want the close window button to kill your application? Do you know what the difference between killing a process and closing a graphic window is?

Yes. How is that a problem? What if I want to download something large and don't need any other windows open? Why would I want Safari's process killed if I accidentally close the last window/tab? Hell, you can just press Cmd+T to make a new window and tab so long as you didn't click on another application's window.
Just because you're used to a certain way of doing things doesn't mean it's the better way of doing it. I'm disappointed that this sort of functionality doesn't exist on Linux.

No, it's a dock, not a taskbar. Windows taskbar can do some very advanced functions such as having each window have their own icon, and showing the window titles, which alone separates it from the toy that is macos """"dock""""

fucking meme developers who think their program is more important than others

>Someone makes OS 1
>Someone makes OS 2 to mimic OS 1, which is more popular, but shittier
>Someone makes OS 3, OS 4 and OS 5 to mimic OS 2 instead of OS 1, because people suffer from baby duck syndrome, then it becomes standard

>Why doesn't OS 1 work like OS 2, 3, 4 and 5, it's retarded that I have 2 functions instead of 1

>>58599256
>When I'm using one program at a time, which happens quite often, I want it to take as much screen space as possible.
Then why are you complaining when the current method gives you more screen space than maximizing would?

>>58599258
>I make more money than you.
That means you're correct about everything? Seems like a pretty shitty argument to me.

You do know that the maximize button put the window in fullscreen mode on Mac, right ?
How isn't that maxmizing a window ?

>>58600429
Apple could have changed System 9 or OSX to match the behavior of every other OS before Macs became popular and no one would have noticed.

Now too many of their users would become confused.

Basically they held onto their shitty way for too long.

>>58600646
Yeah, and remove the ability to run programs in the background unless the developer allowed it.

>>58600429
>>Someone makes OS 2 to mimic OS 1, which is more popular, but shittier
Ironically Windows 1 was had a tiled desktop instead of windows and Apple sued Microsoft when they released Windows 2 with a windowed desktop.

It's ironic because at the time System only supported one running application at a time.

In some ways Windows certainly was shittier, running on top of DOS instead of being it's own operating system for one (though there were advantages to that at the time) but I'm pretty glad they mimiced each other in most of the good ways.

>>58600658
If you need to run programs in the background then you are using it wrong.

>>58600734
Oh well then, why do you use an operating system? You have programs running on the background all the time my man

>>58600738
I run all my programs in the foreground. The system runs programs in the background. That's not the users domain.

>>58596351
that's not a close program button but a close window button
yes it does minimize

>>58596472
I am pretty sure this applies to people who try "the newer Office" and say "wow this thing on top is so confusing" and so on.

But OP has valid points, and has literally nothing to do with imprinting. (I use both platforms.)

>>58597038
You have never in your life started a process and then attached a window to it, they're always started together. Why should closing be any different? Macfags never answer this.

>>58601624
I don't have this problem, I literally grew up with DOS, Unix, AmigaOS, Mac OS.
I don't see how it's so hard to understand many things at once.

>>58601637
>I don't see how it's so hard to understand many things at once.

Good lord. That strawman.

>>58597090
Except you don't have to remove the lightbulb to have darkness, the same way you don't have to kill the program to free up the screen space.

>>58601675
You're right, you could just minimize it.

>>58598472
Are you stupid, Mac OS is older than Windows. Windows was always a poor copy of the Mac.

>>58601760
What are you talking about? It's nothing alike macOS, how is it a copy?

>>58601687
Ok fine, it's a minimise button and close is bound to command+q.

>>58601879
No, it actually has a minimize button as well, it's not like that feature was replaced. I'm not the guy you're replying to, but my entire gripe isn't even why-does-close-not-quite-the-process, it's the simultaneous existence of a close window button and a minimize button, the difference between the two is very fine-grained, even Alt-tabbing brings up a new window. So you have 2 buttons that do very similar things, meanwhile the Quit button - that actually does have a different behaviour - is relegated to a keyboard command or to the top bar.

>>58601927
Oh yeah, that's true. In that case it probably should just close it.

>>58601772
it is alike macOS, but worse in every way

>>58596472

Ok please explain how it's alike then, without falling into obvious stuff like "it uses windows and a cursor".

>>58603832
did you have dick for breakfast or what

>>58598999
>well it actually does close the prgram in some software, which pisses me of
General rule of thumb (guidelines):
- is it a single window application that makes no sense without window -> X quits program
- is it a (potential) multi window program (can you open more than one window?) -> X will only close the window

However, at the end of a day a programmer can do whatever he wants and when he wants to popup pink rainbow unicorns for every press on X then he can do so.

macOS has a universal menu bar, Windows doesn't.

>open QuickTime in macOS
>no window is visible, but options appear in the menubar
>select an option
>a window opens

>open a program on windows
>blank window pops up with menubar on it
>select an option
>window is not blank anymore

so.

>select a song on Spotify in macOS
>click shuffle
>close window
>song keeps playing

>select a song on Spotify in Windows
>click shuffle
>close window
>Spotify quits

You're used to familiarize a program with a window because Windows doesn't have a universal menubar so they must have a window to give you options.

>>58598900

what do you do when your dad walks in and sees that faggot shit?

>>58603882
So not a single thing, just tumblr-tier insults? Nice.

>>58604385
I don't even use Windows and you didn't answer my question. Also I remember Quicktime opening a window last time I used it.

>>58604694
I clearly explained it on the bottom greentext. An application should run without a window if all you need is its options on the menubar.

>>58604782
This seems very inconsistent, opening an app sometimes opens a window, sometimes it doesn't, closing a window sometimes closes the process, sometimes it doesn't. Thankfully my Linux distro does not have this problem.

>>58604877
It's ok, you just seem to think application equals a window.

>>58605034
Where did I express that? I never implied it and clearly said they were different things.

>>58596351
>close button doesn't close
but it does
>minimize doesn't minimize
but it does
>maximize button doesn't maximize
but it does

you must be using an old version or maybe you are retarded

>>58596351
red button terminates the app or hides the window (depends on app)
yellow button hides the window into the quick access area in the dock
green button enlarges the window to the maximum

it's pretty comfy

>>58606077
>>close button doesn't close
>but it does
most times it just works as a "minimize without animation" button

>>58606200
Closes the specific window you're working with, not the whole program.

Take for instance a web browser. It doesn't kill the web browser, however it does close whatever you're using on it. A document? Same thing, it won't close the program, only the document.

You can change that behavior by holding one key while clicking there. Which after a while no longer becomes an issue.

Not the OP but green button makes the program Fullscreen by default, Not sure if you can change it but I just don't like Mac OS

>>58606200
>>58606233 speaks the truth

also, if you want to close a program completely just use command-Q.

Developers can make applications close when you close the last window, but a lot of them don't bother doing this.

It isn't windows. The buttons don't do the same as windows. Get over it.

double click the very edge of the window

>>58598914
How will mactoddlers ever recover?

>>58596351
it does, you fucking autistic piece of shit
close button closes the fucking window
minimize minimizes the fucking window
maximize allow you to see your fucking window fullscreen.
Are you really are that retard?
