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

    Honest reaction is that I want to send this to a friend who would benefit from it, and a look at focusdefinesdirection added more material I will pass along too, the impulse to share is the strongest signal I have for content quality and this site is generating that impulse cleanly across multiple posts.

    Closed the post with a small satisfied sigh, and a stop at capitalbondworks produced the same gentle exhale, content that ends well is content that respects the rhythm of reading and the writers here have clearly thought about how their pieces close rather than just trailing off when they run out of things to say.

    Liked the balance between depth and brevity, never too shallow and never too long, and a stop at directionguidesaction kept the same balance going across the rest of the site, this is one of the harder skills in writing and the team here clearly has it figured out very well indeed across every page.

    Found something quietly useful here that I expect to return to, and a stop at creativepulse added more of the same, content with quiet utility ages well in a way that flashy hot takes do not and I have learned to weight quiet utility much higher when deciding what to bookmark for later use.
