Mac OS-like Metacity button position

You can change metacity window button position (minimize,maximize, close) from the right position as Ubuntu default position to the left position like the window of OSX.

  • Open Terminal and start gconf by typing: “gconf-editor” (without quotes) and hitting enter. This program is a bit like the registry editor for windows.
  • In the tree on the left you need to go to “/apps/metacity/general/”. Search for a key in the right pane called “button_layout“.
  • Edit this key so that it reads: “close,minimize,maximize:menu".
