yes exactly, that would make Unity awesome!
Now in the near future i see a shift away from [ close ] [ minimize ] [
maximize ] coming to us.
Unity doesn't support minimizing. Either the window is closed / hidden or it
is maximized|unmaximized.
So the new Window Control buttons would be [ hide ] [ Min | Max ] [ tile |
float ]

What do you think?
Wouldn't that solve the problem?
