scholli: sadly this issue has still suffered from the silent treatment, even during the second adjustment, so there hasn't been any substantial information about /why/ the change could have been made. That's not fixable quickly, and it's not something that I can directly fix personally---disparate ideologies, little-c corporate mentalities and strong artistic opinions will all take time to adjust but it's something that can be worked upon.
It is however possible to make _purely technical_ arguments for the lastest close-min-max order and why it might be considered superior. This is based on the combinations of buttons that can be simultaneously present: close (only) close-minimise close-minimise-maximise the latest ordering is such that the positioning of the buttons that /are/ present will remain constant (relative to the edge of the window). Both of the previously-trialled orderings meant that the button positions would have altered when the complete set was not present, reducing the potential for establishing muscle memory. -- [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
