To all right buttons advocates Lets say tomorrow Ubuntu officials decide to turn back the buttons to the right and after tomorrow you realize that Fedora fits better to you, or just reinstall all of your computers with Windows because your girlfriend said so and you'll do that with such an easy because you've never pay for Linux, leave Ubuntu and never back again. So, do you think it's fair especially for developers to meet your daily needs and wishes because of this? You know what? I appreciate Clement Lefebvre has done with Linux Mint or Mark with Ubuntu, he does not PULE for better customization, he build his own OS.
Right is better? Is better my a**!!

All the decisions regarding the position/order/alignment will be dealt as a one. === Desire === "Please centre the window title like in previous Human theme, and also re-order the window controls in classic order, positioned on the right side (menu - title - minimize, maximize close)." ==== Workaround ==== 1. Only new themes, such as Ambiance and Radiance will have buttons on the left by default. You can continue using old themes, such as Human, in Lucid and those themes will continue to have buttons on the right side (according to http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/532633/comments/577 ). It is even possible to switch to Human theme and then 'Customize' it to use all the elements from Radiance theme, but the button layout will stay on the right. 2. To revert to old layout, run in a terminal: $ gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string "menu:minimize,maximize,close" ==== Return to defaults ==== If you would like to return to the system/theme default then run: $ gconftool-2 --unset /apps/metacity/general/button_layout ==== Responses ==== Canonical Design Team Leader (Ivanka Majic) - 2010-03-10 and 2010-03-17 http://www.ivankamajic.com/?p=281 ("Those pesky buttons") http://podcast.ubuntu-uk.org/2010/03/17/s03e03-behind-the-screen/ (30-minute interview starting at 39:10) Ubuntu SABDFL (Mark Shuttleworth) replies on this bug report - 2010-03-15 onwards http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/532633/comments/110 http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/532633/comments/167 http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/532633/comments/179 http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/532633/comments/202 to 204 http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/532633/comments/218 http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/532633/comments/248 http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/532633/comments/272 http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/532633/comments/388 http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/532633/comments/410 http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/532633/comments/426 to 427 http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/532633/comments/469 http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/532633/comments/503 http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/532633/comments/564 ("Final decree"; close-min-max ordering) Canonical Ubuntu Community Leader (Jono Bacon) response - 2010-03-24 http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/5683123 (6 minutes starting at 26:24) === Code of Conduct === To maintain a respectful atmosphere, while commenting please follow the code of conduct - http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ .
