How do I move the Unity title bar buttons to the right side? [duplicate]

Can I put the title bar buttons in Unity on the right side somehow, or is that impossible?

Solution 1:

You do this using gsettings:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout ':minimize,maximize,close'

or gconf-editor which has more complicated instructions listed at:

Solution 2:

FWIW, hopefully this will save someone else who is googling this issue the time.. Ubuntu Tweak nor gconf-editor will fix this problem. Seems to be a known issue with Unity. Seems there is no solution in the works either.

Closest thing I saw to a somewhat resolution. Seems to be pawned off on Unity:
