Public bug reported:
Using the new invisible window buttons on Unity, I noticed an annoying
issue: on a maximized window, the window buttons do not extend all the
way to the edges. They have a 1 to 4 pixel gap that make targetting with
the mouse or the touchpad quite annoying.
Ideally, I should be able to close a window by throwing the mouse to the
top-left corner and clicking blindly. This is because the 'close' button is by
far the most common:
- you close windows roughly an order of magnitude more often than you minimize
or maximize them
- you can maximize/unmaximize a window by double clicking the titlebar, so the
maximize button already has a big enough target.
The solution is two step:
1. make the hit-area for the three buttons extend all the way to the top edge
of the screen.
2. make the hit-area for the close button extend all the way to the left edge
of the screen.
I am willing to send a patch, if someone can point me to the right
direction. Is this part of theming (which files) or of the unity plugin?
Thanks.
