I agree. As I said, simply "sorry, all your complaints/concerns are invalid
by design". There are reasons behind those opinions. I say what I say not to
oppose every change the design team does, but for contributing with
something.

Whims for Unity in Ubuntu 11.10 Beta 1. It's sad that changes are decided
without usability tests, and opinions don't count. Even if there are reasons
for having concerns about the changes in UI, instead of looking for
solutions, people that decide changes simply force to use what they believe
is t
As I mentioned before in another post, this is exactly the reason I joined
this mailing list. Very bad changes for Oneric, and they simply don't help
to keep a recognizable interface for new users, the same reason of why the
wallpaper is almost the same for Ubuntu 10.10, 11.04 and 11.10.

But with the current design, since window controls are at the corner, when I
make the launcher always visible, it looks very inconsistent. Window
controls look like they're part of the launcher... At least, when the
launcher is always visible, the Ubuntu button should extend to the top left
corner.

@Eylem Koca: I also think your way. I disagree with the idea of not having
an Ubuntu button on the top panel. User Sashin proposed this as a solution:

Really, I don't agree with hidding window controls. It's really ***not***
necessary and will cause more confusion with Unity to new users. I
understand the idea, but really there is ***enough*** space on the screen to
have the window controls that are really necessary!
Sorry, but Unity needs an U
ity detected in 11.04 and the issues I claim...

So, what do you think about this idea?
I'm really concerned about how an user new to Ubuntu will react when he
wants to invoke the launcher when a window is maximized with the current
design.

ea, the two problems are
solved. A big Ubuntu button when the launcher is shown, and a little Ubuntu
button in the panel when the launcher is hidden. I think it's simpler, it's
more intuitive.
