UI Improvement - Moving desktop app window

[rickeeeeechen]

When I try to move the desktop app window between multiple screens, it is really hard to find a spot where I can land my mouse pointer to start dragging.

This is typically done by point and hold anywhere along top ribbon (i.e. in Window's explorer window). Currently the desktop app has top ribbon fully occupied with search bar and various buttons, which are squeezed together when the window reduced in size, leaving an indistinguishable small area at right side of search bar for the mouse to click/hold.

Suggest uncluttering the top ribbon, or create a separate 'handle' to the very top edge of the window.

Seconding this, although moving between multiple screens point is irrelevant, it's just moving the window at all is an absolute pain.

The hit-box you have to find to hold and drag the window is absolutely tiny, nestled between your profile icon and the minimise window icon. There's a 1 or 2mm spot right in there that you use to move the window around. Anywhere else on the application - title bar or otherwise - isn't grabbable for window drag.

If you increase app window size to about half a 1080p screen width, then another small gap opens up between the search bar and the notification bell, which is also quite small. The window is only "reasonably usable" from a UX perspective (i.e. not that annoying) when the window takes up around 3/4 of the screen width or above.... which is completely contrary to a music players purpose. It's a background thing, I'm not sitting at my home office desk "just to listen to music".

This has been an issue with the Spotify windows app for literally years. I assume the search bar is meant to minimise, which it never is, that might clear up some grabbable title bar space. But it's always extended filling whatever space is there. It's super annoying.
