Using Ubuntu 10.04 and want your window control buttons back on the right? Well here’s how!

Firstly let me apologise for not posting this tip sooner – I keep getting e-mails asking about it too yet some how routinely forgot to post it.

OMG! reader Josh e-mailed me last night with instructions so, thanks to him and via the power of copy & paste, i can finally get around to posting this (relatively) easy solution.

  • Press Alt + F2, then type in ‘gconf-editor’
  • Go to Apps/Metacity/General
  • In the button_layout field swap the text around so that it reads:
  • menu:maximize,minimize,close
  • The button are now back on the right-hand side

If i had some cookies Josh I’d send you one!

Don’t forget you can always get in touch with OMG! via our (at times) annoying contact form or by shooting (not literally, mind) an e-mail directly to me @ joeysneddon [at] gmail [dot] com
