Switch system title bar buttons to left
Fri, 09/30/2011 - 17:46
How can I make the system title bar buttons be on the left? I'm so used to it on other ditros, so it'd be nice to have this in Trisquel. Especially since at school we use Ubuntu, and I of cource don't have root access.

You'll need to use gconf-editor. Open a terminal, and type gconf-editor. When the window pops up, use the left pane to navigate to /apps/metacity/general. One of the entries there should be button_layout. You can alter its value to change the layout of window buttons.

Tried that, but that only changes the order. i want to move them to the left, like in other distros.
