Have you ever resized your window to the top-left corner of the screen? I'm asking because I can't recall doing that myself. It feels natural to resize to the bottom and right (it should probably be to the left for people using RTL languages) as that's how I read. There is already a resize grip in 10.10, at least for Gtk+ applications that have status bar. We can also do the same Apple does - add a "floating" (and hideable) resize grip for windows that don't have a status bar at all. Cheers, KK -- Krzysztof Klimonda <kklimo...@ubuntu.com>
