I could articulate the minimize removal rationale to someone who asks but what's the design rationale for the maximize button removal? What's the status of a "send to back" button to replace the functionality of minimize? Also, I would rather not make a video about these but I suspect the change will be interesting enough to warrant mention in the context of a winder video of the design principals. _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
