After a bit of testing i want to point out that it would be nice if you could move the Launcher on your desktop. right behind the Launcher is the rest of my EVE Stuff and i must close the launcher to get to it.


Not sure if I understand. I can move the launcher anywhere I want on both of my monitors. And it opens up at that location next time.


did you know that even there is no "title" bar, you can clic a the top of the windows and move it? (a few pixel below the edge)


You don't need to go just a few pixel. Anywhere between the "EVE UNIVERSE" and the top of the launcher works.

It is like there is a "title" bar, but it is the same color as the rest of the launcher.....

you like arguing I take it... me too : that's called "a few" when it's 20 pixel (I just counted them lol) and there is no indication that it is there to work
That's something called cognitive ergonomics, specifically Human-Computer Interaction software design. that's what make you know that ctrl+C will copy, and "X" button will close a windows, there is a science behind it

Oh, it IS a title bar : you can see the control box top right with the close, minimize, maximze. and the title itself is right aligned, it says "Eve launcher beta version something"


something to be done : make the whole windows where there is no control to click on a handle for windows movement, or at least the whole "blurry part" top of the launcher that leads you to clic there like a big ass title bar, but no...

I knew google would help me retrieve the rule : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human%E2%80%93computer_interaction#Thirteen_principles_of_display_design
