The final decision on window controls for 10.04 LTS is as follows:
- the window controls will remain on the left, however
- the order will change to be (from left) close, minimize, maximise
The decision is based on the view that putting the close button in the
corner will be most familiar to many users, even if the particular
choice of corner is not.
For the avoidance of doubt, this is not a comment dependent on the date
Our intent is to encourage innovation, discussion, and design with the
right of the window title bar. We have some ideas, and others are
already springing up in the community. We welcome participation on the
Ayatana list, where those can play out. This will be a fruitful topic
for the design track at UDS in Brussels in May.
This bug is now marked wontfix. Please focus ongoing participation on
the opportunities for innovation that this opens up. The decision as to
the window controls location and order itself is now final, and as they
say in the old newspapers, no further correspondence will be entered
into.
