The Windows 11 "taskbar" is disgusting. It should be at the left of the screen, with real icons, with text, progress, etc. They downgraded my developer PC to a bloody iPhone.

I hate it... Excel fills it's window title with a lot of functionality.
Sometimes it becomes really hard to move an Excel Window Sniff | :^)

Agreed.

And Teams has a weird color scheme that does not follow my prefs, so it is heard to find its title bar.

I have a few beefs with Excel, but having the window resize such that it hides some of the most commonly used items (such as filter/sort) is an inconvenience that's easily solved. Spending an hour trying to find out why a vlookup is failing is ridiculous. Apparently, it's not enough to explicitly set the formatting for a column if you have numbers pasted in as text! D'Oh! | :doh:

Another annoyance is the insistence by a client's payroll clerk that the file extension must be csv and that employee ids must include leading zeroes. The user opens the file om Excel to verify contents, sends to clerk who sends it back complaining that the leading zeroes are missing! Sigh | :sigh:

Alright, enough complaining! I'll give the devil it's due! I use Excel a lot and continue to be amazed at what a powerful program it is. Additionally, imho it's one of the only original office apps that continues to improve as far as features I use. Laugh | :laugh:

Excel _is_ a fantastic tool!
But this overload of the tile bar drives me crazy Laugh | :laugh:

You never know (especially in Office 365) what action a click on the title bar will happen Sniff | :^)

Is that a problem?

I may have a paranoia - but they may be after me nevertheless! So I keep my Internet connection open only when I am actively using the connection. (E.g. I have discovered that every time I write back to disk a Word document, a message is sent to a telemetry server, and I don't know what information that report contains.) So I keep a small 'Networks Connections' window at my desktop: I can double click it when I need Internet functions, and right click/Disable when I go on to other tasks, such as editing Word documents.

This NC window is minimized as far as it allows, so the window title hits the minimize/fullscreen/exit buttons. Not even the full title is displayed. But I can move it around, by grabbing it by the title.

For Excel, I've only got an old 2013 version, but it works the same: No matter how small I make the window, at least one character of the title line is displayed, and I can drag the window around by that. Maybe newer Excel versions are different.
