Originally created by @DHowett-MSFT on GitHub (Jun 22, 2019).

I am creating this so I can pin it & to help keep track of several related issues/work-items.

Things we know:

  • The grab handles are bright white/accent color/dark black
  • The grab handles are too narrow / the borders are too thick / why can't I use the area outside the window frame to resize?
  • #994 Split panes need an indicator to show which is focused
  • #1000 Literally anything having to do with panes
  • Click/Right click icon should display Minimize/Maximize/Close menu
  • When you click Cascade Windows , Show windows stacked etc is completely ignored by Terminal
  • #376, #545 Commandline applications can't receive mouse input
  • #4980 system theme light = light borders, even if terminal theme dark
  • The title bar isn't acrylic, but now since architectural changes could be!

Things related to tabs:

  • #1625 Has another giant bucket of work that's more specific to the non-client area (where the tabs are)
  • The area above the tabs isn't draggable
  • Can't pop/drag out tabs
  • Can't reorder tabs
  • #597 Without using tabs don't shrink/expand like browser tabs / I want to set a min width for my tabs / I want a fixed width for my tabs / I want tabs to expand to split the available space / any other possible tab sizing]
  • #3300 Tab bar doesn't grow when you resize the window, it only shrinks (Regressed in v0.6)

Things that people want, but we won't be able to fix:

  • #1753 Can only set "Opacity" of acrylic, not "Blur" / Can't have a non-acrylic transparency

Things fixed in v0.6:

  • #2513 Double click to non-client area should maximize the Window.
  • #771 The default 'active' tab contrast is very low (especially light mode)
  • The tabs don't look as good as you'd like #702
    grafik
  • #857 When the window is smaller than the sum of the width of the tabs, the tabs are cut off, without indication to scroll

Things fixed in v0.5:

  • #1589 Alt+F4 doesn't close the Window (PR#2526)

Things fixed in v0.3:

  • The non-client area looks wrong; PR #929, Issue #872
    grafik grafik

  • The plus button is too big, too small, too wide, too narrow (fixed in #1934)
    grafik

  • #564 draggable area in title bar (PR #1948)

  • When maximized on displays with a different DPI, the edges of the window are cut off. (Fixed by #1921)

  • #608 the text of my tabs is too long

  • I'm using the dark theme but am still seeing a white border and header are still white. (Might be fixed by #929)
    image

  • (caused by #929, tracked in #1625 #1963) The titlebar does not have my accent color in it
    image

  • Resizing the window causes the UI to disapper/reappear.
