Bug Description

It would be great if the close button of maximized windows could be positioned a bit more left. If so, one could just push the mouse in the upper left corner and click (without the need to target the button exactly).

An option could also be to increase the click able area of the button.

Yes. This is called Fitt's law, as the design team probably knows.
