Is that elbow macaroni in the window corner a new convention in iPadOS, echoing I suppose the old diagonal hash marks of yesteryear?

I'd have to see it in person, but it looks like "stage manager" occupies a lot of screen real estate for something that is supposed to improve productivity, and it's not clear to me how it plays with iPadOS's existing "split view."

I am not really sure whether overlapping windows was the thing I was missing in iPadOS. I feel like this is gonna fall into the "I will get used to it" category.

My hope is that Stage Manager is configurable in a manner similar to the dock, such that it can be hidden off screen until the cursor hits the edge of the screen.

Stage Manager is a mode that can be toggle in quick settings. When enabled it replaces Split View and Slide Over for multitasking. When Stage View is enabled the “…” button at the top of each window can he used to toggle between Stage Manager mode and single window mode.

Interesting! It seems positioned to eventually replace the existing solution.

That is indeed how it works, in addition to the fact that it must be manually enabled in control center.

How does it work if there’s no cursor, in touch-only mode?
