Changing the menu buttons positions on Ubuntu 11.10

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

  1. Just want to acknowledge that the writing here is doing something right, and a quick visit to thirtymale confirmed the same standards run across the broader site, recognising good work is something I try to do when I find it because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity.

  2. So — been using this thing for something like four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d write something up since someone asked me last week. Am UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.

    How I found it was actually pretty stupid — I could never get my head round what an ew return actually was when the place terms changed. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. These days I type the odds in first, every time, even the boring singles.

    The single bet calculator is the bit I open most — type in the price and your stake and it shows profit and total return straight away, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the multiples — trebles maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, and that’s where I’d always mess it up. If you want a look, it lives at matched odds calculator and it’s free with no account nonsense.

    What actually changed how I bet were the more serious tools. There’s an odds-to-probability converter that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is handy too when I’m covering two or three runners.

    Not all sunshine though. Its layout is pretty plain — not much frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable although the acca grid are a squeeze. And nothing on the app store, just the site — fine by me but you asked.

    So yeah. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone still does the maths on paper, try it — saves me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
