Agreed. But more to the point, I'd like to know what idiot decided it would be great to put a close button right next to the maximise and minimise buttons. It's a disaster just waiting for a mis-click. Since Win95, everyone else has copied this particular feature.
First thing I do whenever I do a new Linux install is put the close button on its own on the left where it belongs.
- atrilumen 12y agoOn Linux I always eliminate window decoration. I don't even like to have borders, let alone buttons I never use. I really wish I could do the same on Mac.
- mnw21cam 12y agoThat's actually not such a bad idea. I have just a single pixel border around the left/right/bottom at the moment, just so I can see the edge of overlapping terminal windows. I have to say I wouldn't miss the titlebar much either.
- anon4 12y agoIf you notice, there's some space left between the maximise and close, so they're more like _[]...X Plus, you can maximise/restore by double-clicking the titlebar which is a larger target and I expect most users learn that and almost never touch the actual button.
