Move Chrome Window Controls in Gnome 3

[98cwitr]

Since Gnome went back to the right side, and me trying to close Chrome actually brings up the Activity pane, I am trying to get the buttons back on the right side. Unfortunately, gconf-editor doesn't work anymore. Any pointers?

Does right-clicking on the top area of the window and selecting "use system titlebar" (or whatever it says) help?

Try this :
sudo apt-get install dconf-tools I want to get my buttons to the left on the shell , but I have not tried yet .

If you have gconf2 installed already, open a Terminal and type this

gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string "menu:minimize,maximize,close"

That should set the buttons to the right. If it does not automatically move them, log out then log back in.

It worked for me instantly. I executed the command while my Chromium option is set to Use system title bar and borders then set the option to Hide system title bar and use compact borders.

That got it. Thanks!
