Windows button layout right to left in LinuxMint Mate

Desktop settings in Linux Mint Mate

I always like changing the position of windows buttons from right side to left side. It is a Mac like style which is getting popularity day by day. You may know that Ubuntu is using this style from years. I had told you the method of changing windows buttons layout position from right to left in Xfce desktop environment and Lxde desktop environment before.


Today I am publishing the customization method in Mate desktop environment.

This is really an easy task in LinuxMint Mate.

• First of all heed to 'Desktop Settings' through 'System > Preferences'.
• Now click on the 'Windows' at left menu.
• At 'Appearance' change the 'Buttons layout' from the drop down menu. There are two style. One is 'Traditional style (Right)' and other is 'Mac style (Left)'. 
• Change will take effect instantly.

Really great! Nah!
