Application close, minimize and maximize on the "other" side...


I've probably done something wierd, but I cant figure out how to get this setting back.

For some reason the close, minimize and maximize buttons on all my applications are now at the upperleft.

I would like to get them back on the upperright side of my application window.

I don't know how they got on the left side

I've tried changing the theme, but nothing helps. I using Ubuntu 10.04 and compiz.

Hi,
from what I gather, Ubuntu made this the default layout in 10.4, themes have nothing to do with it. A tutorial that might work is here

I agree. Bad decision. Had to search the Ubuntu forum to find a fix. Another thing I noticed, my panel's sound volume applet disappeared. Another search told me I had to add another panel applet (Indicator-Applet) to get it back because it was moved. I preferred it the earlier way.

Cheers, Lou

EDIT: BTW, don't know if these changes were implemented by Ubuntu or Gnome.
