Hello

I tried to put window buttons on the left using gconf-editor. The problem is I can't find a way to remove the menu button wich appears now on the right.

This happens after reboot too ?

Yes, after reboot to.

I have also a question how to make window title on the left, next to buttons (not on center)?

Try putting ":" after the buttons and change the settings a couple of times, for some reason it takes a while to refresh, in the end it should work with both minimize,maximize,close: and minimize,maximize,close.

I don't use GNOME, but now that you mentioned I too can't find the align setting for the title bar font.

I typed close,minimize,maximize: and it works. Thanks for help :).

I think this is a bug, because in Ubuntu 9.10 it works without typing a colon at the end.

I finaly know how to move title to the left:

  1. open terminal
  2. type: sudo gedit /usr/share/themes/Trisquel/metacity-1/metacity-theme-1.xml
  3. you will be asked for account password, type it
  4. gedit window will appear, find this code:

    change "x" values properly to 1 and 2 like this:

    now find this code:

    and change "x" values properly to 1 and 2 like in the previous code:

  5. save file and close gedit
  6. type in terminal: metacity-message reload-theme

After this you should see that window titles changed.
