I don't think being seen as "too Apple-like" is an issue at this point. I feel that, while some may complain about it, it doesn't matter that they do complain if there is solid reasoning behind what you're doing. It's not about simply emulating Apple. It's about enhancing user's experiences with Ub

As things currently stand, if you want an application in Ubuntu you go to the software center and browse the myriad applications available.

Hello everyone, I would like to bring to your attention a design issue with the new unity buttons for maximized windows. The issue is that the buttons do not touch the edges of the screen, which cause two different problems: 1. They are inconsistent with the indicators on the other side of the to
