Screenshots of the UI changes on the Mac - in my opinion it is now just wasting a lot of screen estate for zero benefit.

On non-Macs they’re adding an extra usability issue by hiding the top menu bar. I’ve gove back to 2.7.4 for now - fortunately I had my configuration in git.

Up to 2.7.4:

2.8.4:

    Takes up more space without any benefit. this version looks “modern” but from a usability standpoint, it is worse.

      And CLion’s new UI… and Cura slicer… and discord with default settings… and most websites… it seems to be a cornerstone of “modern” UI design, and personally I hate it too.
