Comment #390> I think that if this was a configurable change it would be far less of a problem.
I wonder if there is a point, knowing most users will probably use the option to move them on the right. Obviously mostly nobody (Canonical & Mark aside) likes the layout (and the "Mac" design) of these buttons. These buttons suffer a plain rejection from start. No matter the type of users, they all agree about the fact: "the button look like Mac buttons and that's bad. The buttons on the left--again a lot like on a Mac--is wrong". We already had a similar situation in 9.10: System>Appearance Preferences>Menus and Toolbars: "Show the icon menus" as they were in 9.04. The only noticeable feedback I could read on the net about this change was: Ubuntu 9.10 is getting neater. I have never used the option --and probably nobody has--because removing these icons made sense. Good change are always welcome from the majority. If these buttons create such a polemic and provoke a global rejection, the common sense would be to review the design and location before the official release. A "configurable change" in this case would be only the tacit reconnaissance of a misjudgement. -- [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
