Many Mac lovers install various themes in their Windows to make it look like Mac but there is one thing which remains unchanged i.e. the titlebar buttons.
Windows shows the titlebar buttons on right whereas Mac shows them on left. Here is a very small utility which can bring the same feature to Windows.
"Leftsider" is a portable small application which moves the titlebar buttons to the left.
It sits in system tray and allows you to easily switch between titlebar buttons position using a single click on its system tray icon. By default it shows the titlebar buttons in left side of the window but you can show the buttons in right-side again by clicking on its system tray icon. Click again and it'll show the titlebar buttons in left side again.
To quit the program, right-click on its system tray icon and select quit option.
You can add its shortcut to "Startup" folder to start it automatically with Windows.

concerning people on x64 win7 systems: in order to get all applications to have the buttons on the right, i found you have to run both the x86 and x64 bit versions of leftsider.
Would there be a way to fix that?
make the app both x86 and x64 compatible for instance?
