Learn how to move Ubuntu window buttons on the right side

Hello dear people,

You have noticed that your close, minimize and maximize buttons are on the left side of a title bar. Well a lot of you probably dislike this concept and would like to have it back on the right side. There is a solution for this! Follow this mini tutorial.

Step 1.

Press ALT+F2

type: gconf-editor


Hit Run.

Step 2.

New windows will appear and you need to follow the path:

apps>>metacity>>general>>button_layout










Step 3.

In this step you need to do very simple thing.

Instead of minimize, maximize,close: you need to input following:

menu:minimize,maximize,close


After this you only need to hit enter and you will see instantaneous change!

Pay attention that sign : should not be at the end when you are changing buttons side.

And that is it!

Enjoy,
