Changing the menu buttons positions on Ubuntu 11.10

Published by Matheus (X-warrior) Bratfisch on October 13, 2011

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

    Easy to recommend without reservations, the site delivers on every promise it implicitly makes, and a look at successchain kept that same standard going, the kind of consistency that earns trust over time rather than chasing it through aggressive marketing is what I see here and it is appreciated greatly by this particular reader today.

    Most attempts at writing on this topic feel like they are missing something and this post finally identified what was missing, and a look at firmusbond extended that diagnostic clarity, content that names what is wrong with adjacent treatments while doing better itself is content with both critical and constructive value and this site has both.

    Will recommend this to a couple of friends who have been asking about this exact topic, and after ideasfinddirection I have even more reason to do so, the kind of site that earns word of mouth rather than chasing it through aggressive marketing or paid placements is always a treat to find online.

    Found the writing surprisingly fresh for what is by now a well covered topic, and a stop at unifiedtrusthub kept that freshness going across the related pages, original perspective on familiar ground is hard to come by and this site has clearly earned its place in the conversation rather than just rehashing old ideas.
