Minimize Restore Close position

Try as I might, I cannot seem to break the habit of clicking the traditional min/restore/close symbols in the upper right hand corner when I have maximized a chart. This affects the entire instance, obviously, not the window, & requires maximizing again & navigating to the center of the title bar to select 'restore'. I can't tell you how many times this has had real consequences... I have tried for a long time to change, but it would be immensely helpful if I could move that text to the right of the window. I've searched for a solution & tried the GUI settings, adding spaces to the separator, etc., but I cannot figure it out. Please advise.

thank you!

There are no options to move the position of those items.

We have noted this as a Feature Request. We can not say when we would get to any particular request.

Okay thank you, John. I would say it's somewhat important... sometimes the fumbling to maximize the instance again & restore or minimize the chart properly can not only cost precious time regarding a trade or exit, it adds to the stress, it's a bit disorienting, & breaks focus, especially 'the zone'. Ask me how I know!!

Btw, this isn't a knee jerk reaction or inquiry- I put it upon myself to adapt & change the habit for months now, or figure out how to move it- but this is the way Windows' windows have always been for decades- & it's not been an easy one to break. Notwithstanding, SC has usually the best reasons a method is better, & I'm not a MS fan in the first place. Look forward to this update!
