Ubuntu :: Moving Buttons Back To The Left?

Jun 3, 2010

Bottom line up front: I'd like to move my window controls from the right corner to the left corner in 10.04.

All of my window controls (minimize, close, etc) are back on the right hand corner of the window, and after my upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 they were on the left. I briefly tried E16 with gnome, didn't like it, and removed all. This caused metacity to become unconfigured, and now all of the themes have window controls on the right.

Where can I fix it so the window controls are back where the 10.04 ubuntu wanted them?

Ubuntu :: Moving Buttons To Left - Keep Moving Back

Mar 27, 2011

I like the buttons on the left. I'm running 10.04 & I know how to move them. The problem is that changing themes will move them back right. OK, if the new theme has them on the right that's OK. But going back to the other theme doesn't change them back. They don't seem to be controlled by the theme, or I'm just not doing it right.

General :: Moving Windows Buttons To Left Side On KDE 4?

Jan 21, 2011

I'm using KDE 4 under Slackware 13.1, and I'd like to move the minimize, maximize, and close buttons to the left side of the windows titlebar. Is there any way to do this on KDE? I've looked under all the windows options, and the 'Buttons' section only contained a list that didn't seem to have what I was looking for.I've only been using KDE for a couple of weeks, so I apologize if the answer is obvious, or if moving the buttons to the left is simply not an option. Any help would be appreciated.

Ubuntu :: Moving Close - Minimize - Maximize Buttons Back To The Right

When ubuntu decided to move the close minimize maximize buttons to the left side, then here is your solution! i wrote this little script to help:

just go to your terminal and type this: (replacing /where/you/put/it/ with where you actually put the file) "sh /where/you/put/it/MoveButtonsToRight.sh"

Apr 18, 2011

I have noticed that,in Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat,the windows have their 3 buttons[maximize(a square),close(x) and minimize(-)] at the left(like in MacOS),while in earlier Ubuntu versions(for example,8.04 Hardy Heron),these buttons are at the right(like in the Windows operating system).Why did the developers of Ubuntu do this change?

Ubuntu :: Chromium Window Buttons Left?

Jul 17, 2011

close buttons on the left with xfce4? I do not want to use the system boarders, I want to use the compact mode, that is the point of using chrome. I know it can be done, that is how it is in gnome with the Ambiance theme and such. I have already gotten all the other buttons on the left, but the chromium ones wont budge.

General :: Using Keyboard To Emulate Left And Right Mouse Buttons

Oct 15, 2010

I am running Linux Ubuntu on a Dell Inspiron laptop that I bought at a garage sale for 50 cents. After spending quite a few hours resurrecting it, it works just fine except for the left and right mouse buttons on the touch pad. They do not function.Is there a way to emulate the left and right mouse buttons from the keyboard?(I know that I can just plug in a mouse, but I would rather just use the keyboard if possible.)

Ubuntu :: Get Nautilus To Respond To The Back/Fwd Buttons Of Mouse?

Sep 13, 2010

Nautilus goes back and forward with alt-left and alt-right.

Just like firefox only firefox responds to my corresponding mouse buttons.

How can I get Nautilus to do that?

If I can't get Nautilus itself to do that, I thought I could bind the buttons to alt-left and alt-right in CCSM. But I don't know how to enter keystrokes as a command.

I like Ubuntu 10.04 LTS pretty much but the one thing that's kinda bothering me is the fact that the maximize, minimize and close buttons have been moved to the left hand corner of the windows. This isn't really too big a deal but like other people, I've gotten used to have those button over at the right hand side. Is there anyway to move the buttons back over there?
