So I tested elementary OS I don't like it so I removed it I switch back to gnome but left me with elementary os style windows control. which has close in left and maximize in right.

I decided to run this command

gsettings set  org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout 'close,minimize,maximize:'

Now it ruins everything. So, I probably just explain it in screenshots:

  • I reckon the issue is with the Arc-Darker GTK+ theme you're using. Try changing it to a default theme (like Adwaita).

Reset to default

Open Terminal and run the following command to switch back to elementary OS default (close button on the left and maximise button on the right)

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout close:maximize

or the following command to Ubuntu default (minimise, maximise and close on the right)

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout :minimize,maximize,close

However, it seems the issue is with the Arc-Darker GTK+ theme that you're using. Change it to another theme (e.g. Adwaita) to fix the problem.
