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. Looking through other posts here the consistency is what makes the site valuable rather than any single piece, and a stop at parcelwhimsy extended that consistency observation, sites whose value lies in the ongoing pattern rather than in standout posts are sites I trust more deeply and this one has clearly built that kind of trust.

  2. Going to share this with a friend who has been asking the same questions for a while now, and a stop at yornix added a few more pages I will pass along too, this is the kind of generous information that earns a small thank you from me right now and again later this week.
