Radiance_R (Radiance Right Side)
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
Description:
With the recent release of Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid, a new theme was included called Radiance.
Radiance introduced a movement of the window border controls from the top right side, to the top left side of the window.
This version of Radiance is a modification of the Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Radiance theme and I have moved the controls back to their original position.
This is a direct modification of the Radiance theme. The original name of this theme is Radiance, this version of the theme is called Radiance_R (Radiance Right Side).
No other changes have been made to this theme other than to restore the window border controls to their original right side position and reactivate the menu control in the original left side top position.
To install this them in Ubuntu 10.04 you can follow these steps.
System -> Preferences -> Appearance
Click the Theme tab.
Click Install.
Browse to the Radiance_R.tar.gz file.
Click open.
This will install the theme automatically for you.
Once installed you should now see a new theme entitled Radiance_R.
Select this theme and you will have the new Radiance theme with the controls in the top right side position.
If you are going to install this theme on a previous version of Ubuntu or other version of Linux you will need to also install the default icons Ubuntu-mono-dark and Ubuntu-mono-light.
You can download the require .deb package from the ubuntu servers using the following link:
http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/u/ubuntu-mono/ubuntu-mono_0.0.18_all.deb

Please however, could someone direct me to these "Ubuntu Tools" that are allegedly available to edit this yourself? I can't find them anywhere...

Well this theme is useless.
There are a lot of programs to change the position, or better you can use the gconf-editor options.

Having the theme with them in the correct position to begin with is a much better solution.
Having this theme is something that numerous people requested that I make for them so that is what I did.
If it helps someone, then it isn't useless, in fact it benefits the community in general by having it. If you don't like it, then you aren't required to use it, however many people do like it and they are using it as their desktop theme.
Linux is about freedom and the ability to choose how we use our computers. This is simply giving us another choice.
Enjoy! - zipperback
