18

I recently upgraded to 18.04 and something that annoys me slightly is that the "Cancel" and "Open"/"Select" buttons are on the top bar now. Is there any way I can move them to the bottom, like in Unity?

This solution worked for me. Enter this line in the terminal. 

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings overrides "{'Gtk/DialogsUseHeader':<0>}"

And buttons are back on the bottom of the dialog.

  • This worked for me for just about everything, except the Screenshots app. Any idea what setting to change for that? – Wilson F Apr 02 '20 at 21:18

    If somebody is trying to do it in XFCE, then the right command is xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Gtk/DialogsUseHeader -s false – j123b567 Feb 22 '21 at 10:21

Just recently ran into this on a fresh install of Xubuntu 22.04.1 and found this solution: Open "XFCE Settings" > "Xfconf Settings Editor" > "xsettings" and click the "+ Add" button. In the dialog enter "/Gtk/DialogsUseHeader" as a boolean and set it to false. Looks to be the same as others but in GUI form. Hope this helps.
