@tbernard @verdre@floss.social @fmuellner Hey Tobias, in that screenshot, what app are you in and how can you find out just by looking at the screen?

(I can’t help but think this is a huge step backwards in terms of usability. Multiple workspaces is a power feature. Knowing which app you’re in, especially when apps themselves don’t even tell you, is basic usability. I simply don’t understand the rationale behind this design choice.)

@aral @tbernard @verdre @fmuellner

I think the decision to remove app name and icon is separate from the new activities/workspaces indicator.

For knowing what app I am in: In MS Windows e.g. there is no separate indicator either and it seems to work by the "whatever is on top"-heuristic plus subtle hints like lower contrast on inactive windows.

@aral @simulo @tbernard @verdre @fmuellner Press super and look at the active app I guess

@carnage_mode Nope, app names are not even presented there, just the icon. Not that that would solve the issue I’m raising anyway.
