The sad truth is that nobody knows that. |

It looks like the bug is still present. |
| 54 |
I've just installed a fresh 14.04 copy |
| 55 |
together with Unity Tweak Tool 0.0.6 |
| 56 |
and even though I select "right" for |
| 57 |
my window controls, they are not moved |
| 58 |
there. After I re-open window properties |
| 59 |
the setting is reverted back to default (Left). |

Confirmed as well with an upgrade to 14.04.1. |
| 64 |
This is truly annoying as I use Crossover to |
| 65 |
run many windows applications needed for work, and |
| 66 |
those apps all have the window controls on the right. |

Hello guys, Sorry, but *this can't be fixed*. |
| 71 |
|
| 72 |
Ubuntu decided to change the window titlebar behaviour |
| 73 |
in 14.04. So far, i have been unable to find any |
| 74 |
alternative way to change window decoration. I am |
| 75 |
of the opinion it isn't possible. |
| 76 |
|
| 77 |
If you think it is possible, and are able to successfully |
| 78 |
change the controls in 14.04 and up using any available |
| 79 |
tool/command or any tweak whatsoever, let me know how |
| 80 |
you did it, and I'll figure out a way to do it from UTT again. |
