I am working on a Linux distro and I was wondering how I can change the images of close/minimize/max buttons. I do not want to move them. Just change the style. Thanks for your help in advanced!

These buttons are usually image files (.png) located in /usr/share/themes/[name of current theme]/unity/assets
.
EDIT: corrected path to themes folder after muru's comment.

Thanks. But when I drag and drop I file into that file in Ubuntu nothing happens. I assume it is because of user privileges. How can I change my self to root or something along those lines? Thx. Jan 14, 2015 at 22:37

You are right: an ordinary user is not allowed to modify that folder. Use a terminal command, either for copying (
sudo cp /sourcefile /targetdirectory/
) or to start a graphical interface under root (sudo nautilus
).– JosJan 15, 2015 at 7:54
/usr/share/themes
. Check the output offind /usr/share/themes/ -iname '*close*'
