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. Honestly slowed down to read this carefully which is not my default, and a look at urbanpathhouse kept me in that careful reading mode, the kind of writing that demands attention by being worth attention is rare in a media environment full of content engineered to be skimmed not read with any real focus today.

    Took a screenshot of one section to come back to later, and a stop at learnshareachieve prompted another saved tab, the urge to capture and revisit specific pieces of content is something I rarely feel but when I do it tells me the work is worth more than the average passing read for sure.

  3. Working through this site has been a small antidote to the shallow content that fills most of my reading time, and a stop at sunwavecollection extended that antidote function, sites that quietly improve the average quality of my reading by being themselves are sites worth supporting through return visits and recommendations consistently.

  4. Liked that the post acknowledged complications rather than pretending they did not exist, and a stop at nextgenerationlifestyle continued that honest framing, sites that handle complexity with care rather than papering it over with simplifying claims are doing real intellectual work and this one is clearly in that category based on what I have read.

  5. Worth pointing out that the writer made the topic feel more interesting than I had been expecting, and a look at draftcradle continued that elevation effect, content that improves the apparent quality of its subject through skilled treatment is doing something real and this site has clearly developed that kind of editorial alchemy throughout.

  6. Found something new in here that I had not seen explained this way before, and a quick stop at edenfair expanded the idea even further, the kind of writing that nudges your thinking forward a bit without forcing the issue is exactly what I look for online today and rarely actually find anywhere.

  7. Felt the post had been written without looking over its shoulder, and a look at northdawn continued that confident posture, content written for its own sake rather than against imagined critics has a different quality and this site reads as written from a place of confidence rather than defensive justification of every claim.

  8. creativechoicehub creativechoicehub

    The headings made navigating the post simple even when I needed to find a specific section quickly, and a look at creativechoicehub continued the same thoughtful structure, small details like clear headings show that someone is actually thinking about how the reader uses the page rather than just filling it for length alone.

  9. Reading this slowly to give it the attention it deserved, and a stop at wildtreasurestore earned the same slow read, choosing to read slowly is a small act of respect for content quality and very few sites earn that respect from me but this one did so without any explicit ask which is the cleanest way.

  10. Bookmark added with a small mental note that this is a site to keep, and a look at flicklegend reinforced the keep status, the verb keep rather than visit captures something about how I think about this kind of site and it is a higher tier of relationship than I have with most places online today.

  11. Most blog writing on this subject reaches for the same handful of arguments and this post avoided them, and a look at primfactor continued the original treatment, content that finds its own path through territory other writers have flattened is content with real authorial energy and this site has plenty of that distinctive energy.

  12. Took a screenshot of one section to come back to later, and a stop at micapact prompted another saved tab, the urge to capture and revisit specific pieces of content is something I rarely feel but when I do it tells me the work is worth more than the average passing read for sure.

  13. Now considering carefully how to share this site with the right audience rather than broadcasting widely, and a look at draftglade extended that careful sharing impulse, content worth sharing carefully rather than spamming is content that has earned a higher kind of recommendation and this site has earned that careful shareability throughout pieces.

  14. Now noticing that the post avoided the temptation to be funny in places where humour would have undermined the substance, and a stop at edgecommune maintained the same restraint, knowing when to be serious is a rare editorial virtue and this site has clearly developed it through what I assume is careful editorial practice over years.

  15. Honestly slowed down to read this carefully which is not my default, and a look at mountainsageemporium kept me in that careful reading mode, the kind of writing that demands attention by being worth attention is rare in a media environment full of content engineered to be skimmed not read with any real focus today.

  16. Looking through the archives suggests this site has been doing this for a while at this level, and a look at grovefarm confirmed the long term consistency, sites that have maintained quality across years rather than just a recent stretch are sites with serious editorial discipline and this one has clearly been at it for a while.

  17. Thanks for keeping the writing direct without losing the warmth that makes content feel human, and a stop at freshsagecorner carried both qualities forward, balancing professionalism and personality is a rare skill and the writers here have clearly figured out how to consistently land it across many posts which I notice.

  18. Found a couple of useful angles in here I had not considered before reading carefully, and a quick stop at mintdawn added more, this is one of those sites where the value compounds the more you read rather than peaking at one viral post and then offering nothing else of substance afterwards which is common.

  19. Decent post that improved my afternoon a small amount, and a look at softskycorners added a bit more to that, sometimes the small wins online add up over time and a useful site like this one is the kind of place that contributes consistently to those small wins for me lately across many different topics I follow.

  20. Great work on keeping things readable, the post never drags or repeats itself which I really appreciate, and a stop at quillgarden added a bit more context that fit naturally with what was already said here, no need to read everything twice to get the point being made today.

  21. In the middle of an otherwise scattered day this post landed as a moment of focus, and a stop at edgecradle extended that focused feeling across more pages, content that anchors a fragmented day rather than contributing to the fragmentation is content with real centring effect and this site is providing that anchoring function for me.

  22. Now feeling the post has earned a proper recommendation rather than a casual mention, and a stop at novalog reinforced the recommendation strength, the difference between mentioning and recommending is a small editorial distinction I observe in my own conversations and this site has earned the upgraded recommendation level from me confidently today.

  23. Liked the balance between depth and brevity, never too shallow and never too long, and a stop at draftlake 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.

  24. Now wondering how the writers calibrated the level of detail so well, and a stop at trendspotmarket continued the same calibration, the right level of detail is one of the harder editorial calls in any piece and this site has clearly developed an instinct for it through what I assume is years of careful practice publicly.

  25. Closed my email tab so I could read this without interruption, and a stop at riverleafmarket earned the same protected attention, when content is good enough to defend against the usual digital distractions you know it deserves better than the half attention most online reading gets in a typical busy day.

  26. Stayed longer than planned because each section earned the next, and a look at flowlegend kept that pulling effect going across more pages, the kind of subtle pull that good writing exerts on attention is something I find harder and harder to resist when I encounter it on the open web today.

  27. Bookmarked the page and the homepage too because clearly there is more to explore here, and a quick stop at pureforeststudio only made that more obvious, this is the kind of place I want to dig through over a weekend rather than rushing through during a coffee break tomorrow morning before getting back to work.

  28. Easy to recommend, the content speaks for itself without needing additional praise from me, and a stop at evertrueharbor only adds more reasons to send people this way, the kind of generous resource that benefits its readers without demanding anything in return is increasingly rare and worth recognising clearly today across the broader open internet.

  29. Genuine pleasure to read, and that is not something I say often after a casual click through, and a quick visit to evercrestwoods kept the same feeling going across the rest of the site, finding writing that actually feels good to spend time with rather than just functional is increasingly rare on the open web.

  30. Coming back tomorrow when I can give this a proper read, the post deserves better attention than I can give right now, and a look at draftlog suggests there is plenty more here that deserves the same treatment, definitely a site I will be exploring properly over the next few days when I can.

  31. Came in for one specific question and got answers to three I had not even thought to ask, and a look at fashionforfamilies extended that bonus value pattern, the kind of resource that anticipates reader needs rather than just answering the literal question asked is the gold standard and this site reaches it.

  32. Well structured and easy to read, that combination is rarer than people think, and a stop at grovequay confirmed the same standard runs across the rest of the site, definitely the kind of place I will be coming back to when this topic comes up in conversation later again over the weeks ahead.

  33. Stands apart from similar pages by actually being useful, that is high praise these days, and a look at trendforless kept that standard going, you can tell when a site is built around the reader versus around metrics and this one clearly belongs to the first category for sure based on what I read.
