While I’m not yet on Lucid (I’m planning to reinstall after the beta is released), I did enable left style titlebar buttons. And to be honest I’m having huge issues adjusting to this… Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s a good decision from Canonical to move them to the left, but I’m struggling with a 15 year old habit to move the mouse to the right when I want to minimize/maximize/close a window…
When you look at this almost everything is left oriented, the GNOME panel’s main menu, the applications file/edit/… menu’s, etc. So why would the titlebar buttons need to be on the right side. This makes no sense at all…
So I’m planning to continue to get used to the left-side model, even if that means getting highly annoyed at times.
The problem is not with Canonical moving the buttons, the problem is with me getting into a habit with a poorly designed user interface.
Yay for Canonical fixing things!
