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

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)

Before


After

    thanks
  • Dstilio
    you can also put:

    menu: minimize,maximize,close

    It adds a small dot in the left side with some options for the window.

    cheers

    I love you. I thought I was going to have to torch my computer, but your lovely guide un-fu(ked me.

    In closing, domestic cats aren't as innocent as they'd like you to believe.
