Re: [ubuntu-art] Metacity Button Order Changed

2010-03-05 Thread Alin-Andrei
It's because the buttons will be on the left, not right side afterall:

 Yeah doesn't this force user to relearn behavior, for no obvious benefit?

  Just curious, what is the thought behind the change?
 As in, why is it deemed better to change the order?

   I noticed in today's upgrade (03/04) the order of the metacity's
   minimize and maximized buttons changed.
  
   In the old metacity the order was; minimize, maximize, close
  
   In the new metacity the order is: maximize, minimize, close
  
   Is this the desired effect or is this a bug?
 
  This is the desired effect.

 I don't think the theme is going to directly affect other themes. As

A very common scenario: A n00b (and not only!) searches for themes in the
Software Center, installs the package with Dust and New Wave and tries them
out: everything will be very messy. You just can do thing like this in a
default installation...

 Doesn't a theme have the ability to define where the window controls
 are located in relation to the title, etc?

 -Chris



I guess the themes can modify the gconf entries - those installed by .deb
files only (so those from the Ubuntu repos)! But all the themes would have
to be updated.

The rest of the themes... oh well, there will have to be different versions
for Ubuntu users or something.

 Hi,

 What do you think of the background of the window on the screenshot?
 (it's a bit like sprayed):

 Would you like such a thing as default?

Looks good, Anton.  I like the texture, subtle but different.  Nice
work.



I for one don't like textures in my theme. Especially in New Wave which is a
polished theme and the texture is rough and seems from a different scenario
:) Just my opinion...
