Move window buttons to other side

Post by leomcsnarf »

I want to move the buttons on window title bars... I have tired with the tips and tricks on I found... using gconf-editor under both gnome/desktop/wm and cinnamon/desktop/wm.... I found the items I had to change but they didn't do anything. I also rean sudo gconf-editor from the terminal to do it as room and restarted cinnamon each time to see if it would change after reloading. It should have worked instantly. Please help.

Which edition of Mint Cinnamon?

On Mint 17.1 Cinnamon those settings are found in System Settings > Windows.

I've not done it personally, but, the options to define both left and/or right title bar buttons is near the top.

Edit.. just tested it and moving the 'close' button from right to left, it was instantaneous on the 'windows' settings window.
