BUT... Apple's close button doesn't "close an application"

Perhaps we should ask ourselves whether buttons should be ordered according to whether they are most desctructive, or most used. Personally, I spend more clicks on closing windows than minimizing and maximizing or restoring them. I'm willing to bet that if if do a study, you'll find that: a. Most people also close windows more than any of the other window functions on the title bar b. Most users would prefer having the most used actions from LTR if they are a LTR user Additionally, if a user clicks on the close button accidentally, most software will confirm the closing of the window if it's a potentially destructive close. If not, it's a bug in that software. I think this is one of those cases where Apple got it right, and I'm glad that Canonical decided to make this change before release. -- [Master] Window Control buttons: position/order/alignment https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532633 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. -- [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 Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
