Anything but the buttons, or how I learned to stop clicking and love Do

I know this is a controversial opinion, but I want to be one of the few to publicly announce that they love the window controls on the left side of the window. They’re so slick looking! It takes about 10 minutes to adjust to the change, but the beauty is worth it. A very small price to pay for a major improvement of the look and feel of the desktop.

Now, for those who don’t want to adjust (which is fine, really!) I have a prescription for what ails you. Yes, this is a shameless plug, no this is not snake oil. This is real jawn which will make your left-side-window-controlled hell-of-a-life into the garden of eden you never dreamed it could be. 40 virgins? No.. Jimmy Hendrix and Neil Peart (yeah, I know he’s not dead, just bear with me) jam sessions? No… This isn’t religion, magic, mysticism, mass hysteria, or Minnesota swap gas. This the Do window manager plugin.

No video support? Try youtube.

And here’s a youtube version, if you’re not down with HTML5.

You can install it from apt://gnome-do and apt://gnome-do-plugins. Thw window manager plugin is enabled by default in Lucid (and maybe Karmic?)!
