    Pantheon is the shell, the Window Manager is called Gala.

First you need to install dconf-editor.

sudo apt-get install dconf-tools

Open dconf and navigate to: org -> pantheon -> desktop -> gala -> appearance

Change button-layout from close:maximize to close,minimize:maximize or close,minimize,maximize: depending on whether or not to want to keep the maximize button on the right.

If you want to move the buttons to the right, like in Gnome or KDE, change the value of button-layout to :maximize,minimize,close

  • Exactly. It's basically what we've been doing for years on the Good Old Gnome 2, but in a new key.
