While
working
with
StageStyle.EXTENDED,
I ran into
a question
regarding
the
position
of window
control
buttons
(minimize,
maximize,
close).
These
buttons
can be
located
either on
the left
or on the
right,
depending
on the
operating
system and
user
preferences.
Could you
please
clarify
whether
support
for
left-side
button
placement
is
planned? I
ran a test
on my
Ubuntu
system by
changing
the button
layout
from right
to left.
As a
result, in
all open
applications
(including
Java Swing
apps), the
buttons
moved to
the left
side.
However,
in JavaFX
with
StageStyle.EXTENDED,
they
remained
on the
right.
That said,
this is
not even
the main
concern.
The most
important
point is
whether it
will be
possible
to provide
developers
with
information
about
which side
the
buttons
are on via
some kind
of
property.
This is
critical
because:
1) It
would
allow
JavaFX
developers
to place
controls
in a way
that
matches
user
expectations.
2)
Applications
often have
additional
windows
besides
the main
one
(dialogs,
popups,
etc.), and
it is
equally
important
to keep
button
placement
consistent
across all
of them.
Otherwise,
you may
end up in
a
situation
where the
close
button is
on the
left in
the main
window but
on the
right in a
dialog.
Best
regards,
