I agree (well, I always agree with the aysiu :D). I like the rationale behind the new position of buttons. In fact, I prefer it over the conventional one. However, many people won't. Many can say that it's not so hard to learn, but people still freak out. When a new user debates with himself whether or not he's going to keep using Ubuntu, he may even consider the window button order as a factor for deciding. UX wise, the new window button order may be best for people who aren't used to any window button order. However, the small UX benefits of this new window button order may not justify the bad press Ubuntu is going to get because of this. -- [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
