I agree.
Why provide a drop-down menu with the "option" for Entire Screen, and not include Fill?View attachment 2653718

Mine looks different than yours - even more options when pushing the Option key. I wonder why.

They lost their way ten minutes after these hellish dots were first foisted upon an unsuspecting public. Why round? "Oh, because it makes it thirty five times harder to focus the cursor on it." So, unless tahoe FIXED them, they are likely worse. More likely, tahoe reenshitified them.

Option-click the green button to get the old behavior back

Yes this changes it to ‘zoom’, which can also be done by double clicking the top of the window. This also isn't 'fill'.

I’m saying we ought we be able to choose the default behaviour, so choose between ‘full screen’, ‘fill’ or ‘zoom’ in settings.

Personally I rarely use full screen and have to hover about in a menu to get a window to fill my screen every time. It's annoying.

How’s the overall performance? Is it noticeably better than Tahoe? I’m still on Sequoia and haven’t upgraded because I’ve read so many complaints about Tahoe.
 
On my Intel Macs, Tahoe feels better than Sequoia. But I got a Mac Mini M1 and I installed Golden Gate beta. Beta 6 really is more fast and responsive than beta 5. And not hangs any more minutes until restarts or shuts down. But I cannot compare Tahoe on Intel with Golden Gate on M1.

Man, you must have really hated the first two-thirds of OS X's tenure, because it's basically Aqua.

Yeah, it is very Aqua, but there's something about them here that makes them look low-res? Might be the shading/gloss on them, they're not quite right. If they are refined, then no problem. I would also hope they become linked to the Liquid Glass slider - the previous almost-but-not-quite flat traffic lights would adjust all the way to the Aqua-like traffic lights along with everything else that is affected.

The Weather App is the only app that won't remember the window size after I change it, it always opens on default the smallest. Anyone else have this problem on all the betas of Golden Gate so far?

I agree 100%. The fact that is is basically an unknown to the average user what exactly will happen when each button is clicked at this late date in time is perfectly insane. In windows, I know EXACTLY what button does what, and it makes sense. These three colored devils, not so much.

is it that complicated? when golden gate officially drops, people will install it, find their way around the GUI, and life will go on. same as always 🤷

I would like to know if the icons for PDFs and picture files are ever going to return to actual icons instead of a white box with a light gray icon that says PDF or JPEG underneath them. I think they want us to use image previews for everything.

been on tahoe since 26.0 - perhaps a bit gettign used to, but it runs error free and works well.

Not polished on design, but a solid version
