For example, you can click on the + button in top right corner of GitHub Desktop even when window is not active.
#Github desktop old version mac
Normal Mac apps can receive click events even when window not active. Any web site or web app can recognize click only in active mode. This core function is lacking from Electron version.Īnother subtle benefit using native app is lack of need to click twice when window not active. One of most important changes is ability to open multiple windows. However particularly in the File menu I noticed that old app had more options. Now here, I have to say, new GitHub Desktop does not a bad job, some web apps don’t have menu commands at all. Everything that’s app does can be accesses from menu bar, it allows user to study what app can do, it also displays shortcut commands. The same is true for apps font, old app uses excellent system font. Not only it looks out of place, this also adds additional cognitive load. Pay attention on the buttons styles, old GitHub apps has familiar buttons looks which is the same as any other Mac app, while new Electron app has its own style. On the screenshots you can see how basic “Add Local Repository” interface differs. That’s not a good look, usually Mac apps have main color scheme, dark apps dark everywhere, iMovie is perfect example, and apps like Finder and Safari have light background. New app has black top and white content area. Right Click on the drop down menu and select item, this opens Finder.
Not only title shows what item selected but is also possible to click on it and navigate file hierarchy. Old native app could be resizes to much smaller size which makes it’s superior for those who keep many windows on screen and value space. First thing I noticed, minimum window size for Electron app is much larger. Native apps can use powerful system frameworks which is already included into OS once. Not surprised as web app need to include all dependencies and custom frameworks. GitHub Desktop at farthest point from native it ever was. The fact that new version is presented as “The new native” offenses me. I decided to compare 2 versions to demonstrate difference between native and not native. That’s it.Not long ago GitHub released new version of their Mac app.
