For mouse users: The different nature of window/app manipulation is not well recognized any more. Things are very close together. Less signal to noise ratio for our neural mouse pushing network. The mouse movement is only about 3cm between left and right. Seems not really a signifcant stretch with those fast optical mouses around and for humans designed to be able to run the bull. The scroll bars are on the right anyway. Notice the waste of display space. 80% unused double hight menu space when window is maximized. That makes ubuntu use four status bar hights of precious display space with its default layout. About the one thing I liked from chromium is the idea of putting the menu/tab items and window buttons into one bar. Menu/tab things left window buttons right. If on a laptop/touchpad using keybard is probably faster, accidentially pushing a window button instead of menue item is then also less of an issue. If on a Tablet/touchpad the left/right bifurcation may be quite helpful in avoiding accidents. Don't see much gain from going different defaults, here. Not to speak about users missing a simple switch, here. > Just my 2 cents. +2 more -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
