Re: Possible to move maximize/minimize/close buttons to left of rox?
The window manager is responsible for drawing those buttons. So the answer is yes, if it can be set in your window manager's configuration file. Each window manager's configuration file location and format is different. For instance, I use the openbox window manager, and the position of those buttons can be changed by editing the <titlelayout> property value in file ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml.

Re: Possible to move maximize/minimize/close buttons to left of rox?
I use fossapup64, and jwm is the window manager? Is there a way to do this in JWM?
Re: How to move ROX maximize/minimize/close buttons to left in JWM?
In Fossapup64 - JWM 2.4.0:
Main menu -> Desktop -> JWMdesk -> Profiles tab -> jwmrc-personal Edit current button.
Add line
<TitleButtonOrder>wxmit</TitleButtonOrder>somewhere not inside other (than <JWM>) tags, for example, right below <JWM>.
Letters describe the layout: w - icon, t - title, imx - buttons. Default: wtimx [github]Save the changes in editor and click the Apply button in JWMdesk.
