@gabrielesvelto@mas.to @mhoye@mastodon.social I quite liked this idea in theory — when the start menu is open, of course I'm not doing anything else, so why should anything else need to be on the screen? the problem in practice was that the start screen was full of email notifications and photos and news stories and so on, so opening it often felt like entering a room, looking around, and saying "now what did I come in here for?" that, and, in modern UIs the launcher menu is also the search bar which is also the calculator, and in those cases you actually might want to refer to stuff on the screen. but that was a way of back in the windows 8 era
