Written by Mel Kham on . Posted in News

As you can see in ubuntu 10.04 Lucid the button of the window are located on left instead of the usual place on the right of the window, if you want to have the buttons back to the right then use windows button script :



First Download the script form this Link

Now cd the folder where you downloaded the script, in my case :

cd /home/zinovsky/Downloads

- Make the script executable :

 

sudo chmod +x 123360-123360-Change Window Buttons.sh

Now Run the script :

 

./123360-123360-Change Window Buttons.sh

After you will got this screen to choose the location where you want to have the buttons :

I changed the button to the right, here it is the result :

{loadposition user9}

    Nice script but a bit overly complicated. Just follow the instructions on this link:

    Why use the script if the window buttons can be moved by using Ubuntu Tweak (Window Manager Settings)

  • Zinovsky

    We used this script to move the window buttons to the right because this option was not available yet in ubuntu Tweak

  • PSiLOCYB

    just the following command in Terminal:
    sudo gconftool-2 –type string –set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout "menu:minimize,maximize,close"

Actually, what I see too much of, and what Microsoft actually (sorta) did with Windows 8 is think forward. And let’s be brutally honest. Windows 8 is actually NOT as bad as people is making it out, they’re just freakishly afraid of change (which Linux users are as well, it seems)
