Restore Window Control in Gnome Shell

So I tested elementary OS I don't like it so I removed it I switch back to gnome but left me with elementary os style windows control. which has close in left and maximize in right.

I decided to run this command

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout 'close,minimize,maximize:'

Now it ruins everything. So, I probably just explain it in screenshots:

Open Terminal and run the following command to switch back to elementary OS default (close button on the left and maximise button on the right)

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout close:maximize

or the following command to Ubuntu default (minimise, maximise and close on the right)

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout :minimize,maximize,close

However, it seems the issue is with the Arc-Darker GTK+ theme that you're using. Change it to another theme (e.g. Adwaita) to fix the problem.
