I think it is to allow for the ability to grab the window by it's titlebar, even with lots of tabs open. It should probably match Chromium Edge's as that also uses tabs.
You can choose not to have the tabs in the titlebar, in which case it will use the standard Titlebar height, and the tabs will appear below it.
Terminals are meant to free hands to limit the uses of the mouse; it is not a browser; There is no need to have extra height for mouse to click and drag; On the other hand, reducing the height of the title bar is essential as it will provide extra room for the viewing area below and become less distracting.
Please have this reconsidered.
I think there is a full-screen mode being worked on, to hide those tabs until you move the mouse to the top. One of the selling points for this Windows Terminal is having tabs with multiple consoles and command lines at one time.
Hi Martin,
I actually do like having multiple tabs as I constantly have to deal with 2 or 3 consoles at the same time. And I also like the idea of having the tabs in the title bar (that is really neat), but I found the tabs are just a little bit too big.
Full screen mode sounds good to me; however, I am not sure how many users would enjoy having to move the mouse to the top and wait for the tabs to appear.
Maybe adding an option to allow users to adjust the height of the title bar?
Hey wadda ya know, this is one of those customizations I already called out as a sub-point in #3327. I certainly like the idea of letting the user customize this.
