Ubuntu 10.04 – Move Minimize, Maximize, Close Menu Buttons To The Right

by Lalit Kapoor on 2010-03-272010-03-27T19:21:05ZY-m-d">March 27, 20102010-03-27T19:21:05ZF j, Y

After adding the new themes from Ubuntu 10.04 into my Ubuntu 9.10 installation my top menus shifted to the left side. I prefer that they be on the right side. This is how to do it.
  1. Press Alt-F2
  2. type in “gconf-editor”
  3. click run
  4. navigate to apps>metacity>general
  5. change button_layout to “:minimize,maximize,close” (without the quotes)
