The order of them has also changed. How do you get them back to where they were in previous Ubuntu versions?</p>enSun, 23 May 2010 02:51:00 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/83/how-do-i-move-the-minimize-maximize-and-close-buttons-in-ubuntu-lucid-back-to-where-they-used-to-be/686<p>Everyone is working too hard at this. Simply right click in the desktop area, select change desktop background and using the themes tab, change to any theme.
