Switch tittle bar buttons sides in Lucid and Karmic

On March 10, 2010, in Uncategorized, by dipinkrishna
A ton of users are dissatisfied with the decision to change the buttons on the title bar, however, it’s incredibly easy to change back and forth between the old (Karmic) look, and the new (Lucid Alpha) look. You do not have to be on Lucid to test out the new look. These commands work fine on Karmic and (probably) older.

Let’s see how it’s done: 

Press Alt+F2 and type in gconf-editor and navigate to app->metacity->general and double click the button_layout option and change it to menu:minimize,maximize,close  rather than “maximize,minimize,close:menu” which it currently reads(only the “:menu” changes ends). 


And if you want the buttons on the left side change it to maximize,minimize,close:menu

Simply done isn’t it ?
