Is the X really an issue? That's where it is on Mac OS X.

• DougBTX 17y ago
  On Windows and OS X, the close button is at the far top right or far top left respectively. This theme introduces a new variant: third from top left.

  The top left is where the close button has been the Mac since the mid-80s. But the question is not “is it really an issue?” but rather “why is it being moved?” Change for change’s sake is stupid.

    Seems like the consensus is: "(10:30:18 PM) vish: the metacity buttons on the left is nothing more than trying to copy OSX :/". I hope they have their own focus groups to back this up or something. Maybe they assume a Mac user is more likely to experiment and therefore more likely to try Ubuntu, so they would put the controls in their default place. I'm not happy about that either. Otherwise, I think it looks fine.
