Created on 8 Jan 2020  路  6Comments  路  Source: elementary/gala

Today after update elementary, non-gtk apps like, vscode or virtualbox-qt, window button close maximize and close come back to original position (close on left and maximize on right).
I prefer use like Windows.

Design Conflict

Is not problem on GALA, you can solve with:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout ':minimize,maximize,close'

I have the same problem with Android Studio

Yes can confirm this issue, it seems to happen to qt and electron apps.
eg. KeepassXC or Spotify.

Edit: Just to confirm, I noticed that this issue has the status "Design conflict". Does that mean the ability to reorder the window buttons is gone from now on in non-gtk applications?

Thank you!!

Is not problem on Gala, example of set configuration of minimize, maximize and close on right:

gsettings set org.pantheon.desktop.gala.appearance button-layout :minimize,maximize,close
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout :minimize,maximize,close
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings overrides "{'Gtk/DecorationLayout': <':minimize,maximize,close'>, 'Gtk/DialogsUseHeader': <0>, 'Gtk/ShellShowsAppMenu': <0>}"
