Move Ubuntu Window control buttons to Right


Right after the installation, we can see that the window control buttons will be placed in the left right as of MAC systems. But if you wish to move it to right side, then here is the simple solution or trick.




  • Press Alt+F2. This will open up the "Run Application".



  • Type gconf-editor and click on "Run".



  • Now goto apps -> metacity -> general



  • Look for "button_layout" on the right panel.



  • Change the layout from close,minimize,maximize to menu:minimize,maximize,close and then press enter.


That's it :) Isn't this a cool trick? Stay tuned for many more cool tricks at MyTechSpace
