Yes. What was to happen was happened :( Very much amateurism on this change (right corner to left corner for close / minimize / maximize buttons). Yes amateurism - you hear well my friends. A good Human Machine Interaction engineer will not do such a move. There are laws and principles. Some Unix friends told me that they have a word "do not destroy well established things". I bet they know what they say they are Oracle engineers with almost 30 years of Unix / Linux behind.
2 main reasons which prove the amateurism : - this move will broke what was good and acknowledged by 90 % or more PC users as `de facto ` (and I don't hear complains about that). - the left side position of those buttons will agglomerate (unnecessary) the space where a normal user search for menu bar and for 1'st level functions. Those buttons has a secondary scope and are rarely used, the right corner was a good place for this group according usability standards (the fact that MAC use those buttons on the left means nothing they are maybe 5%, rest of the world just close their windows from the right corner). Indeed, everyone know that Gnome need some facial changes but hey - why they start to kill the piano ? ..just because ? Well it's clear that the team behind that move does not contain professionals. If this was just a proposal - there's no excuse for that. A single word >> amateurism. Shuttleworth deserver better peoples because his movement is a crucial movement of the modern history. I think he believe in peoples too much and that's that's the point where some peoples can see a profit. Too bad. 2010/3/5 Kenneth Wimer <[email protected]>: > On Friday 05 March 2010 01:43:43 am John Baer wrote: >> I noticed in today's upgrade (03/04) the order of the metacity's >> "minimize" and "maximized" buttons changed. >> >> In the old metacity the order was; minimize, maximize, close >> >> In the new metacity the order is: maximize, minimize, close >> >> Is this the desired effect or is this a bug? > > This is the desired effect. > > -- > Ken > > -- > ubuntu-art mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art > -- Nemes Ioan Sorin -- ubuntu-art mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
