How to customize the close/Min/Max options in Ubuntu 14.04?

Question

I would like to keep close/Min/Max to my own way in Ubuntu 14.04. Is there any way to customize it by software or via terminal?

Answer 1

You could use Gnome Tweak Tools. Find it here

Note : You can only switch on/off visibility of maximize and minimize buttons.

Also, if you are interested, Elementary OS(Freya) has a custom tweak tool that allows you to specify location and visibility of max/min/close buttons from a single line in their tweak tool.

Update :

Use dconf-editor

• Access dconf-editor by pressing Alt+F2 and type in dconf-editor

• In dconf-editor access org->gnome->desktop->wm->preferences

• In preferences change button-layout option like so -

[option - will go on left side] : [option - will go on right side],[option - will go on right side]

• options : minimize | maximize | close

• eg :

  minimize,maximize:close

  buttons will appear as
