It appears there are two items causing concern with this team.

  The first – the window control buttons are now located in the upper
left hand quadrant of the window frame.

  The second - the order of the buttons has changed.

There is plenty of data to support locating the buttons in the upper
left corner or upper right corner of the window frame. Which is better?
I do not know but my assumption is folks do not choose an OS based on
the placement of the window frame controls. If that were true Mac OS or
MS Windows would be different.

My belief is this decision was not made by the flip of a coin, the toss
of a dart, or the personal preference of any single individual. I
believe the concept was discussed, debated, and evaluated as to adding
value to Ubuntu as it exists today and what it will become tomorrow.

As to the order of the buttons, the same arguments apply.

My suggestion is let’s not be too quick to judge and give it a try. I
see a "work-a-around" is already in place for those who feel strongly
the placement is incorrect.

In my opinion the community should be willing to take reasonable risks
to advance the user computing experience and stand ready to accept the
challenges when the bar is raised.

The number of comments offered on this subject stands as evidence to the
strength of the community as everyone who participates takes pride in
what the final solution becomes.

Maybe the communication wasn't as good as it could have been but folks
are busy and things will be missed. In some circumstances there is no
right or wrong - just different.

Lucid will be a success and that success is something we can all be
proud of as I believe it will set the standard for all future releases.

Respectfully,
