Problem

You like the new Crystal and CrystalDark themes but you do not want the title bar buttons to be on the left.

Solution

Edit the theme and change a single property which will affect all forms. Here are the detailed steps:

1. Extract the predefined themes, which will allow you to edit the crystal theme: Loading Predefined Themes

2. Change the RightToLeft property in the theme.

3. Save and use the new theme in your application: Using custom themes

That is all that needs to be done and you can use the same approach for both Crystal and CrystalDark themes.
