Regarding Shuttleworth's hints of new features using the right corner coming in 10.10...
I've generally supported all the choices to use incomplete features and software in the past, as I've seen the need for things to be given time to bed in before the next LTS (empathy and software centre being prime examples), but to move the window controls now just because in the LTS +1 you want to experiment with stuff in the right corner... I just don't buy that as an argument. Your LTS is supposed to be your flagship product that people will want to run for multiple years. In a way your regular 6 month releases are all effectively beta releases for the LTS, since installing an LTS defaults to wanting to only upgrade to the next LTS. So why potentially spoil the LTS in order to facilitate an experiment in what is effectively a beta release. It just doesn't make sense. If the LTS release actually does its job right, and gives people a great OS that they will want to use for multiple years, then that means people won't even see these new amazing right corner features for YEARS. Imagine explaining that to someone... "In case you are wondering why the window controls are in the left, well its because 2 years from now you will be able to use new features in the right corner. Cool huh?" No. No its not. -- [light-theme] please revert the order of the window controls back to "menu:minimize,maximize,close" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532633 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
