I for one don't see any possible good reason for this change (unless someone who was in charge of this change cares to explain), but in my opinion this is just something done for branding: OSX has the buttons on the left, Windows on the right, Ubuntu on the left but with maximize and minimize inverted so all 3 are different.
But the brand should be defined by good, not bad things (like this change). -- [light-theme] please revert the order of the window controls back to "menu:minimize,maximize,close" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532633 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
