Setting window buttons layout in Ubuntu 10.04
Posted: April 25th, 2010 | Author: lukas | Filed under: Ubuntu | Tags: Ubuntu 10.04 | 1 Comment »
Today I’ve upgraded Ubuntu on my laptop to 10.04 version release candidate. Update went smoothly. After 10 minutes I had all packages downloaded. After another 20-30 minutes all packages were installed and after restart I had new Ubuntu release installed.
The only thing that was annoying me was a default window button layout. Minimize, maximize and close buttons were moved from right to left.
After a minute Googling for solution I found it. I had to run gconf-editor (ALT+F2 to open Run command window) and then change settings for apps->metacity->general->button layout property from
maximize, minimize, close:
to
:minimize,maximize,close
Colon position is most important: it determines buttons position in window bar.
Changes were applied immediately and I had good, old buttons layout.
