[Bug 802055] Re: put tab close button on the same side as window close button

 

At least we should have a widget in a common lib used by all elementary
projects. This would avoid to write the same components and patch each
appplications one by one.

The problem is such a library don't exist. Granite is a Rube Goldberg machine (in other word it's an overcomplicated library for nothing) builded by one man who decide which object are public which are private without any community consent. To cite a few exemple of my current frustations about this library:
  - Basics operations that u could do easily with glib are a nightmare or just not possible (cf g_setting_bind). 
  - GApplication can have many different behaviors while the abstraction Granite.Application force u to use what his maintainer in his good will has choosen for you.
  - Even in  the About dialog u can't write what u really want.
  - etc etc etcetera ...

Anything and everything end up in this library the best like the worst
coupled with the useless. Personaly i am kind of tired to fight with
MBarvian about this  library. I refuse to use this library in any of my
project. So i guess it's a dead end.

Title:
  put tab close button on the same side as window close button

Status in Marlin:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Marlin should (like Midori) put the tab close button on the same side
  as the window control button. So if your window close button is on the
  left, the tab close button should be on the left.
