A few days ago Ubuntu announced a <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Brand">new branding</a>. One of the things they changed is the order of the window button layout. Instead of the expected <em>Minimize |&nbsp;Maximize |&nbsp;Close</em> they changed to <em>Maximize |&nbsp;Minimized |&nbsp;Close</em>. Very confusing and I kept pressing the wrong button each time I&nbsp;wanted to maximize my screen.</p> <p>Luckely there's an easy way to alter it. Open the Configuration Editor, navigate to <em>/apps/metacity/general</em> and modify the <em>button_layout</em> key to:</p> <p><span class="geshifilter"><code class="text geshifilter-text">menu:minimize,maximize,close</code></span></p><!-- google_ad_section_end --><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/jsomers/gjIs?a=BuEM6pTnSrQ:yq4AH5WAalY:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/jsomers/gjIs?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/jsomers/gjIs?a=BuEM6pTnSrQ:yq4AH5WAalY:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/jsomers/gjIs?i=BuEM6pTnSrQ:yq4AH5WAalY:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/jsomers/gjIs?a=BuEM6pTnSrQ:yq4AH5WAalY:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/jsomers/gjIs?i=BuEM6pTnSrQ:yq4AH5WAalY:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/jsomers/gjIs?a=BuEM6pTnSrQ:yq4AH5WAalY:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/jsomers/gjIs?i=BuEM6pTnSrQ:yq4AH5WAalY:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> </div> http://www.jsomers.be/story/2010/03/05/ubuntu-lucid-window-button-layout#comments 10.04 linux lucid ubuntu Fri, 05 Mar 2010 18:59:05 +0000 jensen 105 at http://www.jsomers.be http://www.jsomers.be/story/2010/03/05/links-2010-03-05 <!-- google_ad_section_start --> <ul> <li class="first last"><a href="http://yuml.me/">Create UML diagrams online in seconds, no special tools needed.</a><br />(tags: <a href="http://delicious.com/tyfius/architecture">architecture</a> <a href="http://delicious.com/tyfius/design">design</a> <a href="http://delicious.com/tyfius/development">development</a> <a href="http://delicious.com/tyfius/free">free</a> <a href="http://delicious.com/tyfius/graphics">graphics</a> <a href="http://delicious.com/tyfius/charts">charts</a> <a href="http://delicious.com/tyfius/class">class</a> <a href="http://delicious.com/tyfius/diagram">diagram</a> <a href="http://delicious.com/tyfius/diagrams">diagrams</a> <a href="http://delicious.com/tyfius/drawing">drawing</a>)</li> </ul> <!-- google_ad_section_end --><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/jsomers/gjIs?a=E8U--d3Swy4:NE0DGgyqF-Q:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/jsomers/gjIs?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/jsomers/gjIs?a=E8U--d3Swy4:NE0DGgyqF-Q:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/jsomers/gjIs?i=E8U--d3Swy4:NE0DGgyqF-Q:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/jsomers/gjIs?a=E8U--d3Swy4:NE0DGgyqF-Q:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/jsomers/gjIs?i=E8U--d3Swy4:NE0DGgyqF-Q:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/jsomers/gjIs?a=E8U--d3Swy4:NE0DGgyqF-Q:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/jsomers/gjIs?i=E8U--d3Swy4:NE0DGgyqF-Q:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> </div> http://www.jsomers.be/story/2010/03/05/links-2010-03-05#comments Fri, 05 Mar 2010 07:00:00 +0000 jensen 106 at http://www.jsomers.be http://www.jsomers.be/story/2010/02/19/links-2010-02-19 <!-- google_ad_section_start --> <ul> <li class="first last"><a href="http://www.codeguru.com/csharp/csharp/cs_network/remoting/article.php/c7259/">Inter-Process Communication in .NET Using Named Pipes, Part 1 -
