Xcode status bar, is it me or bad UI?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #65 of 1007 |
So in Xcode they use this grey area at the bottom of each window, and for me
it really reminds me of the Safari status bar, so much so that I constantly
try to drag the window by clicking in its area. But then, after it doesn't
work, I remember it's not a metal window.

It's the grey that fools me I think. Check it out for yourself. They are
soooo similar in look.

Anyways thought I would share. Not sure why but the unified toolbar post
reminded me of it (I guess cause it too has a huge drag-able region that
seems "off").
