[The Computer Kid] Bring Back The Minimize Button In Elementry OS

[Conrad Sykes]

Elementary OS is my favorite Linux distro. It's clean, light weight, easy to use, and beautiful. But it has one major flaw which I HATE... there is no minimize button any more on windows. It can be argued that the minimize button isn't really necessary but for me personally it's a must have. So here's the steps of how to bring the minimize button in Elementary OS.

1. Download DConf Editor by opening a terminal and typing "sudo apt-get install dconf-tools"
2. Run Dconf Editor and navigate to  org>pantheon>desktop>gala>appearance 
3. Edit button-layout to be "close:minimize,maximize".

That's it! Now you should see a minimize button in upper right hand corner of all your windows.
