This the bug report from April 19, 2014 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-tweak-tool/+bug/1310056 And here is some quotes: mikolajek (mikorutko) wrote on 2014-09-03: It looks like the bug is still present. I've just installed a fresh 14.04 copy together with Unity Tweak Tool 0.0.6 and even though I select "right" for my window controls, they are not moved there. After I re-open window properties the setting is reverted back to default (Left). Iron Davey wrote on 2014-09-04: Confirmed as well with an upgrade to 14.04.1. This is truly annoying as I use Crossover to run many windows applications needed for work, and those apps all have the window controls on the right. J Phani Mahesh (phanimahesh) wrote on 2014-09-05: #14 Hello guys, Sorry, but *this can't be fixed*. Ubuntu decided to change the window titlebar behaviour in 14.04. So far, i have been unable to find any alternative way to change window decoration. I am of the opinion it isn't possible. If you think it is possible, and are able to successfully change the controls in 14.04 and up using any available tool/command or any tweak whatsoever, let me know how you did it, and I'll figure out a way to do it from UTT again. Epic fail, isn't? Mark Shuttleworth managed to create "can't-be-solved" problem just of an open air. He always stated that his goal with Ubuntu is to replace MS Windows. Now he has already achieved it: Ubuntu is as unconfigurable as MS Windows.
