Just Minimize, and yes, it should be on the left. I don't know how useful Maximize really is -- I never use it on OS X, maybe because the implementation is so weird and inconsistent. If no one has objections to getting rid of Maximize, I'd say ditch it. > 2. keep close button on the right Yep. > 3. have title in the middle, Yep. > 4. double click on title will shade window Hmm... I would prefer if there were only one way of temporarily putting a window away, and having that be via Minimize. If people really want window shading, then I can't really argue it, but we should allow it only if we can also put the window into that state using a menu command (ie: something like 'Shade' should exist along with 'Minimize' and 'Close'). > 5. have title color match Nesedah theme.

I suggest we just get rid of titlebar icons completely if we're not going to be able to use them as a draggable proxy icons. The only function they serve if we keep them in their current state is just to be able to tell what app a document is open in, and since we want to lessen the importance of applications, they don't seem worth having.
