LXDE Forums

Hello everyone;

I would like to move the window control icons (minimize, maximize, and close) from the right side to the left side to make it look like Ubuntu's. Is there a way to do so?

I use Ubuntu on all of my computers except for my netbook which I've installed Lubuntu and I would like for the window menu to be consistent throughout for ease of work style.

Thank you.

Welcome to the LXDE forum.
In most cases the placement of the Windows button order is theme related so I would suggest that you just change themes to attempt to get what you want. However, on the chance that you can change them go to
Main menu->Preferences->Openbox Configuration Manager->Appearance. There you may be able to change the order of the buttons under Window Titles. It works for me in Lubuntu 14.04.2.

...the "Button order" input field should help. try "IMCLN".

Or CMILN depending upon your desires.

Thank you for your response. I was able to change it as suggested by going to the Openbox Configuration Manager. Now how do I mark this thread as solved?

All you have to do is check the green check mark and that will indicate that you accepted the offered solution.
Cheers.
