Change windows button position right to left in Linux Mint13 xfce


Changing position (Layout) of windows button from right side to left side is a really smarter feature like Mac OS. I like this cool style when I first found it in Ubuntu 10.04. Until then I always love to use it.

Today I am going to change windows button position from right side to left side in LinuxMint 13 xfce OS. Usually LinuxMint is a no problem operating system. Many feature make it easy to use and customize. So we could do our job with a customizing tool called Window Manager.

Start Window Manager from Main Menu> Settings.
window manager linux mint xfce main menu
Window manager in linux mint xfce main menu

Window Manager will open.
window manager linux mint xfce main menu
Linux mint xfce window manager
The first tab name is Style. You could change Title Font, Title Alignment and Button Layout using this Style tab. Explore other tabs to configure other thing in your Linux Mint window behavior and look.

How to change position? Its easy friend. Just drag the close, maximize and minimize button from right side to left side.
