Since the new design of the window control in Ubuntu 10.04,howto change window titlebar buttons(min,max,close and so on) display became very important because some would like the buttons at right side just like before,and others like the left side.We used to change them by calling up Configuration Editor with gconf-editor command and modify the corresponding key’s value(see here).And now Ubuntu Tweak make things easy!

Ubuntu Tweak 0.5.3 improved the functionality that arrange the window titlebar layout,which first supported in 0.5.1 version.Go to Desktop->Window Manager Settings,and in right you should know how to configure your window buttons.

To get Ubuntu Tweak 0.5.3,download from:https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-tweak/0.5.x/0.5.3
Or,upgrade from System->Administration->Update Manager if you have an older version installed.
From PPA source:https://launchpad.net/~tualatrix/+archive/ppa

If you don’t like the controls in the new left side position for Radiance and Ambiance, you can download slightly modified versions of those themes entitled Radiance_R and Ambiance_R. I have modified these thems and posted them on Gnome-Look.org for people who would like to use them.

Here are the links to the themes.

Ambiance_R (Ambiance Right Side)

Radiance_R (Radiance Right Side)
