Re: New start up splash screen annoyance...
Note that you can already resize windows by dragging modelines, so
it's a matter of a threshold on window-height before closing one. But
It'd probably be an acceptable option, but only if we can resuscitate
a window after it disappeared since the user may accidentally move the
modeline further than she intended.
anyway, I'm not sure this is really needed. If you happen to be
unaware
of the C-x 0/1 bindings, I find it quite natural to go to the View menu
and get what you're looking for. This is pretty much compliant with what
Windows or Mac users would expect from a well behaving GUI.
Could be. My beginners didn't find it obvious at all. They expect to
manage such visual elements in a more direct manner. Especially since you
otherwise (i.e. if you use a menu bar entry) have to somehow specify which
window you want to delete.
Actually, Emacs windows are an obsolete concept that today brings
us
nothing but additional and unwanted complexity.
Not when running in a tty.
