Mario Guzmán on Nostr: Some of the Small and Mini controls in AppKit have been made taller in #macOSTahoe ...
Some of the Small and Mini controls in AppKit have been made taller in #macOSTahoe which unfortunately make Xcode 26 a bit more annoying to use on 14" MacBook Pros. The UI is bigger and bolder which means less space for your code editor. I have both sidebars as thin as they can be without collapsing.
The Mac was always great (before) because it embraced UI density.
I want to make my pixels work for *me* -- not the white space you think the app should have.
