[Kali linux][Settings]Minimize and maximize button disappear and how to add them back

Finally add them back as usual!
N2I -2020.04.25

Explanation:

I run apt-get install upgrade yesterday, but my system when into a long update and turn my UI interface from Pic A To Pic B. The Minimize and Maximize button were disappeared. It is so inconvenience. I run the following steps to add them back.

Press enter or click to view image in full size
Press enter or click to view image in full size
Old Version and the New one

Step -1: Add Minimize and Maximize button

root@NZI:~/Desktop# gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout ":minimize,maximize,close"
Press enter or click to view image in full size

This should makes the minimize and maximize button back. If the command can’t work, try the below one first then come back to this step.

Step -2: Use gnome-tweaks

root@NZI:~/Desktop# sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool
root@NZI:~/Desktop# gnome-tweaks
Press enter or click to view image in full size

Should look like this if you have install them already. Or takes time to install gnome-tweak-tool. Run gnome-tweaks and you will see the Tweaks window. Move to the Windows Titlebars and turn on the Minimize and Maximize button.

Step1: Change background color

Press enter or click to view image in full size

Select Preferences >> Unnamed >> Colors. Change your Transparent, cursor color settings to make it fits you.
