How to fix minimize, maximize, and close in ubuntu
Hello, I know it's been a while so I'm going to share this. In ubuntu the window buttons to minimize, maximize and close the window are in the upper left corner. I guess they are trying to steer away from the Microsoft way of doing things. To fix this you have to edit the gnome configuration.
- Go to a terminal and type gconf-editor.
- select /apps/metacity/general in the folder pane
- double click button_layout
- change the value to "menu:minimize,maximize,close"
The change should be instant. This should work in any linux distribution that uses gnome.
