estade noted we need to put the spy guy on the right in incognito mode in this case.

also make sure that fitt's law still applies to the close button in maximized mode

 Issue 41211  has been merged into this issue.

I make this. Is only a mockup. But looks great.
Order of the buttons on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx: Close, min, max. (The same that Mac 
OS X)

Here is another screenshot from Ubuntu Lucid beta2. Please note that in beta1->beta2
the button order has changed again. Now (since beta2) the buttons match MacOSX
completely.

We probably shouldn't do anything until Lucid settles down.  ;)

 Issue 41479  has been merged into this issue.

Ubuntu Lucid Lynx is out!
The official order of the buttons are on the left: Close, Min, Max.

yes, this should be aligned with other applications, in Lucid it means left!

It is indeed a hassle in Ubuntu, i have Lucid installed and all my buttons are on 
the left. Since i have a wide screen and most of my windows do not fill the whole 
screen i have to constantly remember that chromium buttons are now on the wrong 
side of the screen and that makes it troublesome to quickly close all my windows 
when cleaning up my workspace, see attached screenshot.

I get the idea that the devs want it consistent throughout the whole platform, but 
consistency in one OS preceeds that imho, since users normally only use one OS at a 
time. And it now eats away at usability...

I would suggest to create another package for Ubuntu which should have buttons on the 
left and leave the regular Debian package for the ones who like buttons on the right.

Would be good of course to have the buttons and the title to have colors and style 
similar to Ubuntu's. They've managed to make it really good looking and refreshing 
this time.

Just upgraded to 5.0.375.29 beta and it looks like devs are trying a more integrated 
look on Ubuntu. Nice touch, Chrome doesn't look so prominently alien on Ubuntu. 
However, must point out (no offense intended) Opera's new beta for Linux fully 
integrates with Ubuntu desktop and launches just as fast.

@14 Actually, we care more about consistency with the host platform. We already use the mac osx button 
ordering on OSX and intend to do the same on linux.

The reason this wasn't done for Mstone-5 all came down to timing of the Lucid release vs. the timing of Mstone-
5 stabilization.

GTK: Support Ambiance/Radiance and Dust button ordering.

When running under GNOME, read the gconf key that defines the button placement
and lay the close, minimize and maximize buttons out. This can even handle
bizarre combinations like putting the close button on the left and the
minimize/maximize buttons on the right.

When running under anything else, use the default button ordering.
