I would like to point out some things for those who are willing to listen:
1) Mark has not stated that the window controls decision has been finalized. He said that he supported the interface team's decision to do it this way for the beta. I think we do Ubuntu and the Canonical team great disservice if we believe they won't consider community input. I work in a corporate environment, and one of the most precious things in that setting is the ability to make decisions. What happens to the interface team if Mark turns around and says, "ZOMG! The community is ON FIRE! Revert the window controls change NOW!" Not only does that undermine the interface team, it undermines every other team in Ubuntu, because it sets a precedent that says that Mark will override anyone, at any time. While I'm skeptical about this particular change, I give Mark a lot of credit for backing the people he has hired to make these decisions. I have trust that they will ultimately do the right thing. 2) It's fairly straightforward to work around, should the final decision be to leave controls on the left for the release of 10.04. I agree with those who are asking for a radio button or other easy config dialog to choose which side to use. -- [Master] Window Control buttons: position/order/alignment 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
