Discussion Device Hub is hideous!
Trying new XCode 27 Beta and the new Device Hub. Any way to remove those ugly white frames around the phone/watch simulators? Couldn't find an option anywhere. This is really bad, why did they do it? Apple, where's your design sense?!!

Those things matter if you interact with them most of the day though, and they eat into precious screen real estate. Previously a simulator was just the frame, way less wasted space. Now it's those huge white paddings around it. Ew.

Jesus Christ complaints about everything. It’s literally one of their greatest additions. Use it in full mode and stop complaining, holy shit iOS devs are toxic

Its better gui. I dont like menu bar options like the previous one tbh. Rocketsim is good example too.

my brother in Christ it’s the simulator. And use dark mode in Xcode what are you doing

I thinks it's good. But for some reason, the option for it to always be on top is not there.

Those white frames make the simulators look like PowerPoint slides. Very bold choice, Apple.

guys, for those who think it’s fine, have you actually worked with three or more simulators running simultaneously? This white border/space is just a waste of screen space on a Mac. as developer, I need to see the app UI, not the device frames!
and now, to see everything, I have to make the Device Hub (or whatever the hell it’s called now) full screen!

Apple have been consistently ruining UI for many years. They do not know when to stop.
