Minimize,Maximize, and Close in Fedora 15 and Gnome 3
The first weird thing I noticed in my Fedora installation is the missing buttons for Minimize and Maximize. If you want to see those familiar buttons again, follow the steps below.
Go to Activities>Applications and click on Add/Remove software.
Search for gconf-editor and then install it.
Once the application has been installed, open it. In the interface click on desktop>gnome>shell>windows.
Modify the field button_layout to contain the value :minimize,maximize,close.
Logout to apply the changes or press Alt+F2, type r, press ENTER.
The Green Button of Nondescript Function
I installed OSX Lion. I quickly got used to the natural scrolling. It works, it does.
However, i now have a full screen button on some apps. Awesome! Top right hand corner i have a full screen button!
Wait, so, what does the green button do? I want a button that makes the window use all the space available on the desktop, even if that means not using the space that the dock and the status bar use.
What does the green button do? Kind of flicks between one screen size and another.
What does the yellow button do? Minimise a window. How do i get the window back? Alt+Tabbing to the window still doesnt bring it back, i have to click it.
Where has the resize handle gone from the window chrome? I know they are trying to clean everything up, but in doing that, they've made it look like windows that can't be resized, could be resized. They can't. There isnt a handle on either a window that can be resized or a window that can't. Silly apple.
