Change File Manager to single click?

[acidblue]

How do I change file manager behavior in 11.10?
I want to open files and folders with a single click.

Also How do I install different theme?
I have the tweak tool already installed but not sure where to put my
theme files.
I have a .themes folder in my home directory, is this right?
I have a theme in there that I downloaded and extracted but it's not showing up in the tweak tool.

Go to System Settings > Mouse and change mouse action to double click. I think thats how it works. TBH i havent used Ubuntu in a while. (Dabbling in the world of Puppy and Fedora atm) .. and yes themes go in .themes / icons go in .icons.

Use GTK 3.x themes.

Change to single click in nautilus preferences.

Great thanks!
But now how do I get the window buttons, max,min,close, on the right side?
What ever theme I chose they are all on the left and I hate that!

In the terminal....

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout menu:minimize,maximize,close

To change back to the default left use...

gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout

Getting error:
No such schema 'org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences'

Sorry missed you were still using 11.10.
Settings are still in gconf I think.

Try...

gconf-editor /apps/metacity/general/button_layout

and change the value to...

menu:minimize,maximize,close

No problem.
The themes you use can dictate the position of the buttons so if you change themes regularly you may have to set the key again or set it as mandatory.
