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

    Probably the kind of site that should be more widely read than it appears to be, and a look at findpurposeandpeace reinforced that quiet wish, the gap between a sites quality and its apparent reach is sometimes large and that gap exists for this site in a way that makes me want to mention it more.

  2. trendyvaluezone trendyvaluezone

    Reading this prompted a small redirection in something I was working on, and a stop at trendyvaluezone extended that redirecting influence, content that affects my actual work rather than just my thinking has the highest practical impact and this site is providing that level of influence for me at a sustainable rate apparently.

  3. Polished and informative without feeling overproduced, that is the sweet spot, and a look at honestharvesthub hit it again, you can tell when a site has been built with care versus thrown together for the sake of having something to put online and this is clearly the former approach taken by the team.

    Now sitting with the thoughts the post triggered rather than rushing on to the next thing, and a stop at simpletrendbuy extended that reflective pause, content that earns time for thought after closing the tab is content of higher value than the merely interesting and this site has clearly produced that lasting effect today.

  5. A thoughtful piece that did not strain to be thoughtful, and a look at shopandsmiletoday continued that effortless quality, when thinking shows up in writing without the writer drawing attention to it you know you are reading something genuinely considered rather than something performing the appearance of consideration which is also common online.

  6. urbanbuycorner urbanbuycorner

    A piece that demonstrated competence without performing it, and a look at urbanbuycorner maintained the same self assured but unshowy register, the gap between competence and performance of competence is one I track and this site has clearly chosen to demonstrate rather than perform which I find much more persuasive as a reader.
