Not to mention that, according to TFA, no existing themes work with the new structure: changing to another theme can't help.

- cookiecaper 17y agoIt's not that no themes work, if I understand correctly, it's that any other theme would still have the buttons on the right. Someone please correct me if this is wrong.
- pyre 17y agoIIRC, the theme itself has control over where the buttons on the window titlebar go. I know for sure that this is the case in Emerald, and I know that other window managers allow various themes to move around the position of the buttons at will. If they changed the underlying code to force all themes to use the same button position regardless of what they have it set to... that's a lot bigger of an issue than just changing the button position in the default theme. Maybe someone running 10.04 Alpha 3 can confirm that this is being forced upon other themes. Another thought is that maybe most themes don't specify the button locations because they are used to the defaults being 'buttons on the right,' and this Ubuntu change messes with the global defaults rather than just applying the changes locally to the new default theme.
