Why integrate top level leaf menu into Deskbar? Existing one is better I think.
Many people like existing BeOS/Haiku design and donât want it to be broken. If such people will not say anything, it will create wrong impression that everyone agree with changes.
Modern desktop GUI design inspired by smartphones is an absolute disaster to my opinion and I donât want Haiku to copy it.

Thatâs perfectly alright, and Iâm at least partially in that camp myself. But the user I replied to wasnât saying anything about their UI preferences, they just wanted us to kill the discussion.

Modern desktop GUI design becoming more smartphone/tablet-like is an absolute disaster. For the beginning there is fundamental difference between mouse-keyboard device and touch screen device. Mouse-keyboard device (Personal computer) allows more precise control and serves professional productivity purposes.
Itâs a trend doesnât mean its desirable, just like flat design. There shall be some communities stand out to restore the original order of tech industry.
Recently the HarmonyOS computer from Huawei is released, and its only being regarded as âTablet XLâ but not a real PC. Mainland China is a society with wider use of touch devices than PCs, and people still dislike the idea of turning PCs into tablets with keyboard.
The idea of turning desktop GUI design to become more smartphone/tablet-like never works.
