I can understand if Ubuntu wants to be backward and contrary and default
the window controls to the wrong side for new installations, but why must
they force the issue. From what I understand it is very difficult, to the
point of being impractical, to move them to the right side, due to
decisions that were made specifically to prevent it. I don't understand
this kind of thinking. Please give me the ability to put my window
controls on the correct (right) side.
Thanks
I am very happy with window controls on the correct (left) side. :-P
It is close to the App's Menus (I don't need to travel the entire screen to
hit those buttons) and Unity left panel.
If I'm not wrong, with Ubuntu Teak Tools, you can do that, with Ubuntu
Gnome, you can do that, for sure.
The entire reason for them being on the left is to make the top-right
of the screen consequence free for a single click. This is to encourage
the user to dig into the indicators and to help developers inform users
easily in a uniform way.
Hate on it all you want, this is safer for new users, and it's almost
a perfect copy of one of the things that is actually good about OS X.
I've grown accustomed now, and I prefer it this way. :)
I also liked the decision that the window buttons moved to the left side
by default. Before that time, I prefered closing windows by
double-clicking on their window-menu-button (which was always on the
left side), like you did it in Windows 3.11. And thus moving the window
buttons became handy for me regarding this habit. Btw., I have never
used a Mac.
My two cents ;-)
Kind regards,
Jan
