Hello
I’m still setting up my Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot). Let’s change the menu buttons (minimize, maximize, close) position to the right (again).
Open your Terminal
$ sudo apt-get install gconf-editor
Run it
$ gconf-editor
Go to “apps/metacity/general/”
Find “button_layout” and update the value to:
menu:minimize,maximize,close
Save, logout, login. Done!
Best Regards,
Matheus
gconf editor doesn’t work
It should be gconf-editor
My bad! Thanks for your reply. Just fixed it.
I got the buttons on the right side since 10.04 (and the values are still edited in the way you put it here), but since 11.10 my buttons are only on the right side when they are in the window format.
After maximizing a window, they are on the left again. Do you know how to change this? Thank you 🙂
Same here, any update for that ?
I don’t know yet… 🙁 but I will keep looking for a solution. I think this was a problem on 11.04 too. Am I wrong?
Not working at all. 🙁
It used to work in 11.04 and before, but no longer for 11.10. Another regression?
You need to “sudo gconf-editor”, otherwise the configuration can’t be edited.
is there a way to put the menu buttons back to the left
Yes, you can use the same process but just use the older option on apps/metacity/general/
I think it is:
close,maximize,minimize
I don’t remember for sure but it is something like this.
não consegui,diz que não foi possivel encontrar o pacote gconf-editor, alguem pode me ajudar ?
I was able to change the buttons to the right side BUT it only works when the window is not Maximized…when i change the window to maximize the buttons go back to the left again 🙁
any ideas to solve this?
Cheers
