    IMO nobody needs a size grip and it looks bad

    Just to mention it, Thunderbird on Windows has it, Firefox or IE don't... not sure about this one. I tend to don't care ;).

    Prefer to keep it (it's not hurting anything), but don't care.

    @luke-jr: I know. It's minimal. But have a look at the screenshot/mockup below. I really care about margins and paddings. The right unused margin in the status bar always poked me.

    Seems a bit like the UI equivalent of premature optimization. Isn't the point of a size grip to communicate that the window can be resized?

  12. jonasschnelli commented at 4:55 PM on January 19, 2015: contributor

    @laanwj: Right. But the grip is only visible on windows. On Linux and Mac there is a unused space to the right.

    On window there are many apps where the grip is not visible but the window is also resizable.

    See also: Internet Explorer, Filer-Explorer, Terminal: nowadays most apps/windows don't have a resize handle.
