Maximize ======== The usage of maximize depends to the display size and resolution. If you have a screen < 14", you maximize the majority of windows and keep some windows not maximize like Empathy IM, Gnome Terminal, etc. But If you have a screen > 20", you maximize only one or two windows like Inkscape or Anjuta but not maximize the majority of windows. You just adpat the size of the window to this own content. To summarize, more the screen is little, more you will maximize and vice versa. And why you maximize? To see more content in a window. So I wonder if it's not better to don't maximize beside the screen but beside the window content (like in Mac OS X). And about maximise to focus on work: That depends on people. Some will mazimiser the window on which they work and some do not need it. Minimize to panel ================= The use of this feature depends to the use of maximise. In Gnome 2 (or in other OS), why people use minimize to panel? For hide the window. So if the majority of windows are maximized, user don't need to minimize the window to panel for hide it. But if the majority of windows are not maximized, user really need to minimize the window to panel for hide it. On Gnome Shell, we don't have a panel but we have a dash. So, I think we can have a "Minimize to" or a simply "hide window" feature. If user hide a window, it don't appears in the desktop and in the windows section on Activites overview but only on the Dash. Button ====== Keep buttons would not be bad for the newcomers, they would not be lost. Buttons "Hide" and "Close" are needed, but maximize button is just for don't lost newcommers. -- Gendre Sebastien <korbe romandie com>
