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

    Closed the laptop after this and let the ideas settle for a few hours, and a stop at learnandgrowdigitally similarly rewarded reflective time, content that benefits from sitting with rather than racing past is the kind I want more of and the kind that this site appears to consistently produce week after week here.

    Found this via a link from another piece I was reading and the click was worth it, and a stop at businessrelationshipplatform extended the value across more material, the open web still rewards clicking through citations when the underlying writers care about each other work and this site clearly belongs to that network.

    Bookmark moved to my permanent reference folder rather than the casual maybe later folder, and a look at generalztipsal earned the same upgrade, the distinction between casual interest and lasting reference is something I track carefully and very few sites cross that threshold but this one did so without much effort apparently.

    Genuinely glad I clicked through to read this rather than skipping past, and a stop at startthinkingforward confirmed I should keep clicking through to more pages here, the kind of resource that justifies its place in my browser history rather than feeling like wasted time which is the highest compliment I offer any site online today.

    Found this really helpful, the explanations are simple but they actually answer the questions a normal reader would have, and after I followed reliablepurchasehub I had a clearer sense of the topic, no extra fluff just useful points laid out in a sensible order that made the time worth it.

    Took a few notes from this post, the points are easy to remember without needing to come back and check, and a look at bondprimex added a couple more, the kind of place that sticks in the memory long after the browser tab has been closed for the day which says a lot really.

    Approaching this site through a casual link click and being surprised by what I found, and a look at easydigitalretail extended the surprise, the rare experience of stumbling into excellent independent content rather than predictable mediocrity is one of the actual remaining pleasures of casual web browsing and this site provided it cleanly.

    Worth pointing out that the post avoided the temptation to summarise everything at the end, and a look at topgadgettechnewz1 continued that confident closing approach, content that trusts readers to retain the substance without being reminded of it at the end is content that respects the reader and this site practices that respect.

    Got pulled in by the headline and stayed because the content actually delivered on the promise, and a stop at smartshoppingdepot kept that trust intact, when a site lives up to its own framing it earns the right to keep showing up in my browser tabs going forward indefinitely from here on out really.

    Reading this gave me a small sense of progress on a topic I have been slowly working through, and a stop at moveforwardtoday added another step forward, learning happens in small increments across many sources and finding sources that consistently contribute is the actual practical value of careful curation in an information rich world.

    Glad the writer did not feel compelled to cover every possible angle of the topic, focus is a virtue, and a stop at enterprisepartnershipsolutions reflected the same disciplined scope, knowing what to leave out is half of what makes good writing good and this post has clearly been edited with that principle in mind.

    Liked the post enough to read it twice and the second read found new things, and a stop at startthinkingforward similarly rewarded the second look, content with hidden depths that only reveal themselves on careful rereading is the rare kind that earns lasting respect rather than fleeting first impressions only briefly held.

    Speaking from the perspective of a fairly demanding reader the writing here clears the bar consistently, and a look at everydaypurchaseplatform continued clearing that bar, the calibration of demanding reader is something I apply to all sources and this site has been one of the few that handles the demanding reading well across pieces sampled.

    Will be coming back to this for sure, too much good content to absorb in one sitting, and a stop at professionalbusinessbonding only added more pages I want to dig through, this site is going onto my regular rotation list because it consistently delivers something worth the visit lately rather than empty filler.

    Honest take is that I will probably forget most of what I read online today but this post is one I will remember, and a stop at trustedcorporatebonding kept that same memorable quality going, certain writing leaves a residue in the mind in a way most content simply does not manage.

    Came in tired from a long day and the writing held my attention anyway, and a stop at discovernewgrowthpaths kept that going, content that can engage a fatigued reader is doing something right because most online reading happens in suboptimal conditions like that one and quality content adapts to it without complaint.
