Yes! That is a great idea, Michael! Gnome global menu applet ( http://code.google.com/p/gnome2-globalmenu/ ) is a very good way of avoiding the problem of clicking Close when intending to open the File menu.
I hope this can be made the default for the new button-paradigm-shifted themes. That would really clean up the windows and make even more room for novel interface experiments if that is what Canonical wants. I say, if Ubuntu is really going to change in the direction of Apple- like UI instead of Microsoft-like UI I welcome that wholeheartedly. What I do not like (or understand) is taking some bits from Apple (buttons) and some from Microsoft (menu) but without having any real reason behind it other than simply being different. Either Canonical needs to do real (and I mean REAL) user experience testing months before introducing dramatic UI changes. OR, they need to trust what other companies/organizations do and not be queasy about looking like an imitation. If Canonical thinks Apple has the best UI ideas, then grab those ideas, all of them, all at the same time! :-) -- [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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
