Remove or Disable Overlay Scrollbar – Ubuntu 11.10

Good Night,

Sadly (for me) the Scroll bar on Ubuntu 11.10 are still the same as Ubuntu 11.04. I particularly don't like it. So I tried the same method to disable the overlay scroll bar on Ubuntu 11.04, and it works! (I just tested the disable method.)

Use this:

# echo export LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 > /etc/X11/Xsession.d/80overlayscrollbars

If you try the other methods, please let us know if it works!

Changing the menu buttons positions on Ubuntu 11.10

Hello

I'm still setting up my Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot). Let's change the menu buttons (minimize, maximize, close) position to the right (again).

Open your Terminal

$ sudo apt-get install gconf-editor

Run it

$ gconf-editor

Go to "apps/metacity/general/"
Find "button_layout" and update the value to:

menu:minimize,maximize,close

Save, logout, login. Done!

Best Regards,
Matheus

Going back to Gnome Classic on Ubuntu 11.10

Good Night!

Everybody probably knows that today Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot was released. I just finish my installation and I couldn't find the Gnome Classic option. Then I remembered somebody told me I need to install "gnome-session-fallback" to get it again.

Use:

$ sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback

Logout. Press the gear and choose Gnome Classic.

That is it!
