SOLVED--Lost top right corner controls for all open windows

Post by NSA_Dontspyoneme »

So I am not sure if I did something or it happened during an update. But I have lost 2 out of 3 of the top/right controls (minimize, maximize, close). I have the box icon/control left but the - and x are gone. Its missing on all open windows like firefox, mail, open folders etc.

Anyway to fix this?

Open in the system settings the settings for windows. Near the top you find under the title Title-bar the settings for the buttons (up to 4 on both sides).

If this should not help, it may be a problem with the used theme. In this case go back to the default theme. Afterwards restart Cinnamon (or log out and back into your account).

It has nothing to do with any update.

I'm sure there was some way of excluding some types of window/applet from being affected by Compiz settings but it's been years since I felt familiar with Compiz.??

Compiz is incompatible with Cinnamon
