why the default (ambiance) theme is not changing on my machine?
I use the "Ambiance(default)" theme.
I modified this file:/usr/share/themes/Ambiance/index.theme
From this line:ButtonLayout=close,minimize,maximize:
To this one:ButtonLayout=minimize,maximize,close:
And rebooted the machine, but all windows layout are still close,minimize,maximize.
PS.:
I did backup the Ambiance folder before doing it.
Why did I do it like that? Because every other instructions from anywhere I try them are not working for me, from copying the theme to my user's home folder (and renaming things), to making a root copy at /usr/share/themes/ as a new theme (renaming things too), and everything else... and I don't know why!
So this SHOULD work, as I am changing the core theme itself, but it still doesn't!!!
What is wrong with my system?
ubuntu 16.04.
