@scholli Perhaps you have hit on it right there. Make every theme work either with the wacked out max,min,close now on the left OR the proper min,max,close on the right like 95% of the World's computer users are used to.

I know about the "Dust" theme, but I don't care fo it and I don't want to be locked into one theme or a limited number of it.

That being said, how would something like this affect applications? Would changing the theme also change button order/location for each application on the PC as well? IF so, then that would be wonderful because then no hacks would be needed and it could be theme-driven and the user could choose.

For those of us who use Ubuntu @ home as our only OS, but must work on Windows @ work, we could have it as max,min,close now on the right.

For those who use Macs and Ubuntu, they can have it the other way on the left.

Now like I said, if it's a global-theme-based change that affects all applications etc, that'd be cool, and in that way, I CAN support such a change. I believe that the current way of gconf editing may break things, or at least cause wacked out drop shadow effects, etc.
