A good way to get any level of customization is with themes. This includes changing the way the window control buttons look, etc.
A good list of themes can be found here NoobsLab Collection
Open Nautilus
sudo nautilus
and go to the
/usr/share/themes/YOUR_CURRENT_THEME
find gtk3 file and open it.
Search
outline-radius
and change value to the 0. you may have multiple outline-radius in your gtk3 file.I don't know what is your current theme, but you can search
.button
class and tweak the color.For slider color: it has many classes. for example for scale slider you can simply search
.scale.slider
and change the color.For highlight color. Every theme defined const for these type of colors. You can search
@define-color
and after that see which one hashighlight
in it and change it to whatever you want.You have also another option for changing the highlight color. Open Ubuntu Software and install
theme configuration
(Sometimes Logout and Login needed to see the change).
After each change you must load theme again. For that, you need gnome tweak tool
If you need a color tool, Install Gpick
