Move Window Buttons Back To Right Side


If you are like me, then you can’t stand having the window buttons on the wrong side in Ubuntu 11.04 and up. To change the window buttons to the right side its actually a lot easier than you would have thought. Just follow these instructions and your buttons will be where they belong in a matter of minutes.

Run the following command in terminal.

gconf-editor

Now in gconf-editor navigate to “apps/metacity/general“. Inside the general folder there should be a key called “button_layout” simply change the value to this to the following. You can also change the order of the buttons if you like.

menu:minimize,maximize,close

Thats it, you can now close gconf-editor and your buttons will be fixed.
