Want to move Ubuntu 10.04 Window Buttons from Left to Right with a Command in Terminal?
Perhaps the most annoying thing about Ubuntu 10.04 “Lucid Lynx” is the right-to-left window buttons switch. The change has caused a lot of confusions among Ubuntu Linux lovers.
When I upgraded my Ubuntu linux from Ubuntu 9.04 to Ubuntu 10.04 “Lucid Lynx” the windows button appear at left side.I like to work in different environment (Checkout Top 10 ways to Tweak your Windows Xp article).I personally was happy about Ubuntu 10.04 with its brand new Radiance & Ambiance Themes. But some have mailed me how to move the window buttons back to right side.
Here’s how you can move the window buttons of Ubuntu 10.04 from left to right using a one-liner:
Run Application Dialog (Alt+F2) or Open Terminal and execute this command,
gconftool-2 –set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout –type string menu:minimize,maximize,close
That should do the trick. 🙂
