[opensuse] Minimum, Maximum buttons missing
I have lost the Minimum, Maximum buttons on all web pages and in the openSuse pages as well. I have gnome desktop, and openSuse 12.1. Only button on any page is the close button at the top right. The Min and Max buttons that were next to the close button are gone. Can I get those back?

Install gnome-tweak-tool and you can toggle what buttons you want as well as numerous other 'non-mainline' features. As for maximize you can do usually do that by double clicking the title bar of a window - which is easier than hitting the button. For apps like a web-browser F11 full-screen might be more what you want anyway if you want to really maximize the visualization of the app. As for minizmize... that is a long story. The whole concept of minimize is pretty much deprecated in GNOME3, and doesn't really have a place. With dyanmic workspaces, et al, there just really isn't any reason to do it. And without the task bar there isn't as obvious a way to get hidden windows back. You can always access any window management by right clicking on the windows title bar and using the context menu that appears.

I can't imagine anybody wanting to use such a system! If it were that or windows, I would surely choose Windows! Fortunately, there's KDE. --doug -- Blessed are the peacekeepers...for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A.M.

Guess I'm too old fashioned or stuck too long in Windows, but I like those buttons. Sorry. I see what you mean re: the title bar and will use it but don't like it, Thanks for the help.

You don't need to imagine; I use it ~8-9 hours a day every work day. It's sleek, fast, and awesome.

have the gnome developers detached <Alt-Tab> from its decades old hookup to app switching? sc -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

No, Alt-Tab brings up an application strip on which I can rapidly Alt-Tab to the application I want. Or a single Alt-Tab works exactly as before.
