The proximity of toolbars in OSX can be a problem in relation to the window controls. In Safari for example the back button is extremely close to the close button in the top left of the window. Unless we want to waste a ton of screen space on isolating window controls I'm not sure there are any better options out there. You can't assume the top right of the window will be devoid of other UI controls so it's not totally safe either. Somewhere in the past I remember reading about the idea of making UI controls "sticky" by slowing or snapping the cursor to a control when you got near it along with using some haptic feedback built into the mouse. I think these are both better ideas than trying to shuffle around pixels to solve the problem. No matter where you put it there will always be a chance of a miscommunication between your eyes and clicking finger. Someone mentioned multiple monitors/high resolution -- personally I think none of the major desktop operating systems have scaled to handle multiple monitors or high resolution displays very well. We're still stuck with this idea everything useful has to be on the edges of the screen. |
