Hey guys,
Well this is just another , friendly . complaint about the buttons on the left of the window title bar!!
I would like to preface this with the statement made by mark shuttleworth:
"Moving everything to the left opens up the space on the right nicely"
Mr. Shuttleworth...with all due respect..that statement is a bit "wobbly-eyed" :)
moving the buttons left or right will open the opposite side of the title bar equally,, I see no advantage to opening the right side of the title bar over keeping the left side opened!
Further more...I think it would be more appropriate to have a tick box...to change positions of the buttons...for left and right handed people... to have the buttons on the left for "suspicious æsthetic" reasons is no more than a lack of creativilty..
I say that because it has always been easy to switch locations of the buttons in gconf...at least as far as I can remember.
So the reasons for this are , at best, un-creative and kind of a smack in the face for those of us who have used gnome ... pronounced.
I suggest ..again... a tick box or several options for buttons on the left...buttons on the right...and buttons in the center...
in fact a small grouping of options..easily accessible by the user to change locations of not only the buttons but also the title on the title bar itself.
