Window Operations

Manipulating a window's size, shape, and location in GNOME is remarkably similar to Windows and Mac OS. Dragging on any part of the frame or border with the left mouse button of the window allows you change its size and shape. You can move windows around by dragging on the title bar (the bar across the top of the window).

In addition, the upper-right corner of the window contains buttons to minimize, maximize, and close windows. These operations can also be selected from the window menu in the upper-left corner of the window.
