Window Buttons Extension!

This post was made with another stylesheet and it might be messed up!

A very useful extension made it to the official extensions website today bringing new possibilities for every Gnome Shell user!

What the window buttons extension does is having a set of the classic minimize, maximize and close buttons on the top right of the panel all the time allowing you to impose the corresponding action to the focused window every time you press one of the three buttons!

To use this extension simply turn the switch to “ON”

    This is pathetic, feels like 1990 again

      It is just another way of doing things :)

        fuck yea! much improved way!

      I think the idea is that you have this buttons _also_ when the window is maximized. I don’t really like this extension…

      Btw @blogadmins: When are the screenshots for 3.6 are in this blog, can’t wait for it ;) (the UI is frozen now, according to the schedule)

        Hold on, 3.5.90 is coming out in 2 days! But we have reviewed most of the modules some time ago!

      I hope this is a joke.

        You clearly weren’t using computers in 1990. He’s right. This is a huge step backwards, due in part to the lack of a real minimizing feature. It would have been cool if the changes all wrapped in to an efficient package, but they don’t. Most of the changes being made to Gnome nowadays are completely disorganized. The developers are basically shooting from the hip and then shouting bullseye, even though we can all see they completely missed the target.

    Very handy, especially with Maximus extension.

      I was searching for something like that to combine the buttons extension with. Thanks!
