This quick tutorial will show you how to move the Close Minimize and Maximize buttons on the menu back to the original position in Maverick. This tutorial could also be applied to Lucid. If you’re not used to the menu buttons on the left, then I will show you how to move it back to the right.

Getting started:

To get started, press Alt-F2 on your keyboard then type the command below and click Run:

gconf-editor

Then expand:

apps --> metacity --> general

Select and right-click button_layout and click Edit. Then change the value to the one below:

menu:minimize,maximize,close

Click OK, then close out and notice the change.

Enjoy! And please come back soon.
