#221 Include minimize, maximize and close button as a standard options in gnome fedora
Closed: complete 2 years ago by riecatnor. Opened 2 years ago by rikardgn.

I find the buttons included in some gnome versions for minimize, maximize and close to be more intuitive than left or right clicking the window title to get a menu with minimize, maximize or close and similar options. The circle buttons in the image are much more intuitive to me.

Hi @rikardgn,
This is a gnome design choice by default
To active the minimize/maximize button, you can enable those from the gnome-tweaks [0] - Window Titlebars section (see screenshot)

If you wanted to propose this change to gnome upstream to enable by default - you can open a discussion https://gitlab.gnome.org/groups/GNOME/-/issues

[0] sudo dnf install gnome-tweaks

Thanks @siddharthvipul1 for sharing the setting! @rikardgn, does this address your original need?

Yes it solved the issue.
Would like to see gnome tweaks installed by default or as on accessability option that asks the user during the install process if it wishes to install gnome-tweaks :)

Hi @rikardgn glad to hear this solved the issue!

We discussed this in our DEI team meeting today and we think your suggestion can be included in further efforts around Fedora's accessibility.
- I would invite you to add to this thread about Fedora's accessibility:
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/fedora-2025-strategy-accessiblity-improvements-in-support-of-our-vision/38192/10
- @siddharthvipul1 also introduced his proposal for an Accessibility SIG in our call today. It will take some time to get that going, though this seems like a request for that group to tackle. @siddharthvipul1 will keep the team updated on that work
