I have just change from Unity to Gnome in Ubuntu 16.04. I do not see anyway to maximise or minimise an app i.e Evolution to full screen. In unity there are indicators showing full or minimised. What am i missing?

Current versions of Gnome don't show maximize or minimize buttons by default. You do have several options, including:

  • Right click on the titlebar and the drop menu will provide options to maximize and minimize the window (a double-click will also maximize the window)
  • Learn the keyboard shortcuts (e.g., CTRL+Super+Up to maximize a window)
  • Run the Gnome Tweak Tool (gnome-tweak-tool), go to Windows/Titlebar Buttons, and you'll see checkboxes to show both the maximize and minimize buttons

To be honest, I've been running Gnome for several years, and never even noticed that these buttons were missing...

Thanks Rich. Spot on, I've only been on Gnome for 2 days now and still learning and do miss some of the things from Unity
