Is it possible to move the window controls to the left side on Linux? I believe it use to be. If it is could someone please explain how to achieve this.
Hey @artist78, 
Thanks for reaching out! Just to clarify, are you referring to moving the window controls (like the close, minimize, and maximize buttons) to the left side of the ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors window on Linux?
Yes that is exactly what I was referring to. I am running the flatpak version of OnlyOffice.
Hey @artist78,
Thanks for clarifying! As far as I recall, we haven’t had a suggestion like this before.
Interestingly, when using RTL languages (like Arabic) for the editor’s language, the interface — including window controls — flips to the right side. I’ve attached a screenshot of the interface in Arabic to show what I mean.
That said, I can log a suggestion to add an option to move window controls to the left side in ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors for Linux, even for non-RTL setups. Would you like me to do that?
Yeah that would be awesome. But if it affects the UI badly I can live with the window controls.

Hey @artist78,
Awesome, thanks for the feedback! We’ll definitely consider your suggestion to add an option for moving window controls to the left side in ONLYOFFICE Desktop.
As usual, I can’t promise a quick implementation, but I’ll keep you posted on any updates.

I personally would like if it was able to adapt to the elementary layout GNOME close button only layout and GNOME plus layout (minimize and close buttons )
Hey @seadx6,
Sorry for the late reply — your message got buried in the flood of threads, totally missed it earlier!
Thanks for the extra input — I’ve added your request to suggestion.
Still no timeline — the feature is under review, but the more voices we get, the higher it climbs on the priority list.
If you know anyone else who’d love left-side (or GNOME-style) window controls, feel free to invite them here!
Thanks again for the feedback!
