How to make iTunes 10 vertical buttons to horizontal


Apple has changed many things on iTunes 10 and also experimented a lot with the looks. One such  change was the postion of minimize, maximize & close  buttons on mac version. But one thing I dont understand is that why they’ve repositioned those buttons vertically 😡  Many of us didn’t like it and if you are one of those and looking for a fix then just follow the below steps:

  • Make sure iTunes is closed, If opened then Quit iTunes.
  • Launch Terminal.
  • Type defaults write com.apple.iTunes full-window -1without quotes and hit enter.
  • Now Launch iTunes, you will find the  buttons aligned horizontally.


If you want to restore the buttons alignment back to vertical then, Type defaults write com.apple.iTunes full-window 0”   (it is Zero and not letter o) without quotes and hit enter.
