Re: Minimize Button in GNOME Shell

["jose aliste gmail com" <jose aliste gmail com>]

Hi,
Sorry for top posting but please understand that the Shell is still in
development, and while
some of the points you make are fair, they are made with respect to  a
version which DOES NOT include
the latest additions from Gnome Designers, which makes them invalid.
It would be good if  you could  read Jimmac's blog [1] or to look at
the gnome-shell's mockups at the gnome-shell-design git repo [2] so
you don't wait time ditching about known (and I think already fixed in
the mockups) issues.

Cheers,

José
PS: I have no relation at all with the gnome-shell team.
