Changing the menu buttons positions on Ubuntu 12.04

Hello

I’m still setting up my Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin). 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

PS: If you have any problem try to install “dconf-tools”, open dconf-editor, close and then try to use this method again.
