Moving min/max/close buttons back to right hand side for full screen windows
Solution 1
just install and use ubuntu tweak ( http://ubuntu-tweak.com)
in ubuntu tweak goto the desktop->window manager setting section on the left. then goto windows titlebar button layout and click the place right choice offered to you.
to install ubuntu tweak just go to the website and download the .deb file and open it with ubuntu software center .. it usually is installed in applications->system tools->ubuntu tweak
good luck
Solution 2
The way unity works, the buttons appear on the left side, and it's coded to work that way only. You would have to write a bug report about this (I would support it).

How do I move the minimuze/maximise/close buttons to the right hand under Unity, for maximised windows?
I've used
gconf-editor
to change /apps/metacity/general/button_layout to move them to the right hand side for windows which aren't maximised, but once maximised it moves back to the left hand side.-

Reinier Post over 8 yearsI have done this in the past, but it doesn't work for me now (cannot find such an option in Ubuntu Tweak, using Ubuntu 14.04.3).

Dan Dascalescu over 7 yearsUbuntu Tweak 0.0.7 no longer has an option to change the location of the window controls. It's also no longer maintained.
