Synaptic Package Manager: the Properties and Search buttons
In the new version of Synaptic, the Properties and Search buttons are aligned on the right.
How can I move the Search and Properties buttons to the left hand side?
I tried to replace the file /usr/share/synaptic/gtkbuilder/window_main.ui but it didn't work.
These distros all exhibit the same problem:
| ISO | Synaptic version |
|---|---|
| ubuntu-mate-21.04-desktop-amd64.iso | 0.90.2 |
| debian-live-testing-amd64-mate+nonfree.iso | 0.90.2 |
| ubuntu-mate-20.04.2.0-desktop-amd64.iso | 0.84.6 |
| linuxmint-20.1-mate-64bit.iso | 0.84.6 |
No problem:
-
Linux Mint 19.3 MATE and Ubuntu MATE 18.04 LTS with Synaptic 0.84.3

Solution 1:
If you are asking this as bug-report then it is off-topic here.
If you are asking for the local solution which you are ready to apply by yourself, then you have to install special application named GTK+ User Interface Builder (glade) by
sudo apt-add-repository universe
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install glade
and then edit needed /usr/share/synaptic/gtkbuilder/window_main.ui file in it to have your locally patched Synaptic.
