Please Show Active Tab's Title At Top of Window

isocat

Firefox puts the title of the active tab at the top of the window. It's a very useful, helpful UI element. Look and see how the window title shifts as I flip through the tabs in Firefox:

Orion does not provide a title at the top of the window. There's nothing above the URL bar. Look and see how there's still nothing above the URL bar, no matter how wistfully I flip through the tabs in Orion:

Having the title at the top of the window makes it much easier to find and click the desired one of many windows open at the same time. It also makes it much easier to grab and drag the window. I cannot imagine a drawback, but perhaps there's one I'm not thinking of; if that's the case, how about making this feature a togglable option?

isocat That looks like a feature, not a bug? Vertical space is precious.

@Vlad I don't claim it's a bug; I filed it as a suggestion/request. It sounds like you regard vertical space as precious, to be devoted to stuff other than this what I show and describe. My priorities aren't the same, as it seems.

This feels a bit like the question of how the toilet paper should come off the roll, over the top or underneath from the bottom. Some people can't stand it one way, others can't stand it the other way, and there's no value in arguing over who is right or wrong.

It looks as though you might be saying any vertical-space priorities different to your own are wrong. I hope that's not what you're saying. Is that what you're saying?

isocat Roger, treating it as feature suggestion.

Over the top of course!

Vlad Well, yes, of course: over the top, in accord with Scripture. But there are unbelievers who somehow think that's wrong, and while I believe they are deceived and shall not know true peace unless they repent and start hanging the toilet paper correctly, it ain't my call. 🤓
