How can I move Chrome's buttons to the right in Gnome3's Shell

Question

I switched from Unity to Gnome Shell in Ubuntu. Now Chrome has the buttons on the left side, but I want them on the right. How can I fix this without switching to the system titlebar?

I also tried gconf-editor and modifying apps>metacity>general>button_layout, but that doesn't make any difference.

Solution 1

That works for me in Gnome Shell and Chrome 15.0.874.120. Try from the command line:

gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string ":minimize,maximize,close"

Solution 2

Won't let me add a comment to the chosen answer

if you use

gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string ":minimize,maximize,close"

You'll keep all the buttons

Solution 3

You alternatively make chrome use the system theme in options under appearance. This is for people who are still searching for how to make chrome take on a more native appearance.

It works for me with the integrated buttons.
