Enable minimize and maximize buttons on Chromium

Do you prefer to save a little vertical screen space on Chromium by using the native window decorations, but find that you miss having a minimize and maximize window button? This is what I'm talking about:

Out of the box, Chromium appears to be reading the Gnome Shell default environment settings, where only the Close window button is normally shown. On MX, we can easily adjust this by entering the following command into a terminal:
Code: Select all
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout ':minimize,maximize,close'
The difference is plain to see!

Thanks Rich.
The method for doing this seems to change from chromium version to version (and I couldn't get my previous fix to work). Your command bypasses the need to use Chromium's own flags. Thanks again.

Thanks. As mentioned I need to install libglib2.0-bin first.

Thanks, was looking for this.
(although it does not uses the current window theme) at least I have the buttons.
Can we have this by default in MX for Chromium?
By default, we have only Close (X) button .
