Customizing Close / Minimize / Maximize buttons

Is there an easy way to customize the red, yellow and green window buttons? I've found other OS images in the System/Library/CoreServices that you can change, thereby "customizing" the look of the OS. It would be nice if I could change these to hues of Blue.
I do see these images in the SecurityAgentPlugins/loginwindow.bundle. You can change the apple logo and other icons in the login window. But I don't see these buttons on the login window, so don't know why there are there. Haven't tried updating them yet.
I know it's dangerous to go around in the System folder. I'm an old Mac vet.... have clones... and don't mess around with anything I don't understand. I just like altering the images as it makes the OS more suited to my likes.

I found out that it wasn't just Safari, I had the same problem with FireFox. On the forum I found the (I think) solution:

It looks like the problem is solved

Close, Minimize, Maximize buttons won't work

So lately the close, minimize and maximize buttons in Safari, Chrome and Firefox won't work. Also, I can't move/drag the window easily, I have to click like 10 times and try over and over again so I can drag it. If I have two windows open (not tabs) I cant close unless i go cmd+W. Do you know what must be wrong? Those buttons work fine in some apps, but finder has that problem too.. I try to force close them and they won't eve appear on task manager, which is weird, they used to. Oh and my launchpad button (in the dock and in the keyboard) also doesn't work.

Close and minimize/maximize buttons disappeared

The close, minimize, maximize buttons in the top right corner don't show. They are there, but well...not. If I press in the top right corner, it acts as if I pressed the close button...asking if I'm sure and such. This happens all the time when I have multiple tabs open and try to click on or close the furthest right tab. The only way I can close tabs in this situation is by right clicking on it.
I've seen previous questions on this and tried all the suggested solutions: removing the persona to revert to default appearance, resetting firefox, hitting f11 to switch to fullscreen and back, uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, changing toolbar settings as to what shows and what doesn't...nothing has worked and this problem is getting quite irritating.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Try to disable transparency in Windows.
Right click in a free space on your desktop. 
Left click on Personalization. 
There are four options at the bottom of the screen, choose "Window Color and Appearance". 
Select a border color 
Uncheck: "Enable transparency"

Is there any way to increase the size of the window buttons (close, minimize, maximize)?

I want to increase the size of the window buttons (close, minimize & maximize) because you have to navigate so precisely using the trackpad to use them...it'd be easier if the buttons were a little bigger. Thanks.

Not possible at the present time. You may make your wishes known to Apple here:

Modal Frame or Dialog with Minimize/Maximize buttons

I want to create a window (dialog or frame) that is modal and has the minimize/maximize buttons. Is it possible? How?
I normally would use a dialog if I wanted the window to be modal, but a dialog does not have the minimize/maximize buttons. I normally would use a frame if I wanted the window have the minimize/maximize buttons, but a frame cannot be modal.
Any suggestions, please?

You can make your "modal panel" listener the window events from all others frames:
public class YourModalFrame extends JFrame implements WindowListener{
public YourModalFrame(JFrame owner){
    super("Modal Frame");
    this.owner = owner;
    // we put a glass panel into the main frame
    JPanel glassPanel = new JPanel();
    glassPanel.setOpaque(false);
    glassPanel.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
    // blocking the events!!!
    glassPanel.addKeyListener        (new KeyAdapter()        {});
    glassPanel.addMouseListener      (new MouseAdapter()      {});
    glassPanel.addMouseMotionListener(new MouseMotionAdapter(){});
    owner.setGlassPane(glassPanel);
    // the frame will listener owner windows events
    owner.addWindowListener(this);
// Window Listener //
   * Invoked the first time a window is made visible.
public void windowOpened(WindowEvent e){}
   * Invoked when the user attempts to close the window
   * from the window's system menu. If the program does not
   * explicitly hide or dispose the window while processing
   * this event, the window close operation will be cancelled.
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e){}
   * Invoked when a window has been closed as the result
   * of calling dispose on the window.
public void windowClosed(WindowEvent e){}
   * Invoked when a window is changed from a normal to a
   * minimized state. For many platforms, a minimized window
   * is displayed as the icon specified in the window's
   * iconImage property.
   * @see java.awt.Frame#setIconImage
public void windowIconified(WindowEvent e){
    // Do you want this too?
    //super.setState(JFrame.ICONIFIED);
   * Invoked when a window is changed from a minimized
   * to a normal state.
public void windowDeiconified(WindowEvent e){
    if(super.getState() == JFrame.ICONIFIED)
      super.setState(JFrame.NORMAL);
    this.requestFocus();
   * Invoked when the window is set to be the user's
   * active window, which means the window (or one of its
   * subcomponents) will receive keyboard events.
public void windowActivated(WindowEvent e){
    this.requestFocus();
   * Invoked when a window is no longer the user's active
   * window, which means that keyboard events will no longer
   * be delivered to the window or its subcomponents.
public void windowDeactivated(WindowEvent e){}
}

I can open Firefox, but then can't click on anything, not even the minimize/maximize buttons.

I can get Firefox to open and sometimes even browse properly for a few moments, but then I can't click on anything. Or, more accurately, I will click but then nothing happens. I can't even exit out of Firefox, because when I click on the minimize/maximize buttons or the red x, nothing happens. I then have to exit using ctrl/alt/delete, but the task handler even then claims that Firefox is running properly. I ctrl/alt/delete my way out anyway.
I've done everything I can think of. I've checked for updates, run CCleaner, defragged, run disk cleanup, and checked for malware. This persists in happening, but only in Firefox, not in IE.
I should mention I'm on a Dell laptop.

Oh thank you for posting on how to enter safe browsing! I had tried to disable add-ons, but couldn't make anything click to do so. So frustrating!
Anyway, after putting on the safe browsing, it worked *immediately*, so clearly the add-ons were the issue! I deleted a bunch I don't use anyway, and it's been working fine for hours.
Thank you!!

After latest update 20.0.1 when opening a new tab, close, minimize, maximize are not working. Also using arrow in online dropdown menu's are non-selectable.

After automatically updating to version 20.0.1 yesterday the buttons in the upper right corner minimize, maximize, close stop working when I open a new tab. When only one tab is open they do work. Also when downloading a file ( and again this opens a new pop-up window ) after clicking save file there is no response. The save file button looks as if it is pushed but there is no download going on.
I tried safe mode, didn't help.
I tried switching off all add-ons, didn't help.
I tried reset, didn't help.
I even tried uninstalling and re-installing firefox, didn't help.
The only thing that works for a couple of seconds is when I go to options in the firefox menu, close the pop-up the buttons in the upper corner are active for a couple of seconds.

Hello,
I kept searching a solution for this problem and I found that: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/956417
You just have to update the Add-on Firebug from 1.10.6 to the latest version 1.11.2. If it's not that Add-on try with another Add-on.

Close, minimize, resize buttons in top left dissapeared

Any help MUCH appreciated!!... I cannot seem to figure out how i've lost my close, minimize and resize buttons in top left. IT's only in Illustrator. I have a MacBook Pro..
Any thoughts???
Thanks,
Elena

Chances are the buttons are merely behind the Control Panel or your'e simply in Full Screen Mode.
If your document is behind the Control panel, tap the Tab key to hide all panel, then move the document down so it's not behind the control panel.
If you are in Full Screen Mode, tap the F key on the keyboard until you see the buttons again.

Remove minimize/maximize buttons across all portlets

Is there a way to remove all minimize, maximize, and refresh buttons from all portlets across the entire portal?
I'd also like to somehow force the maximizing of all portlets. This will help get around the problem with all those people who have minimized and will no longer have a way to maximize those portlets after removing their ability to minimize.
Thank you for you help in advance.
tomS.

I found it!
In my Portal Customization 1 class manuals under the Adaptive styles section; it mentions the portletCollapseButton CSS style tag.
What's even better, is that you can set how these buttons are displayed globally, by community, by page, and/or by portlet.
Modify this file to make immediate changes
...\ptimages\imageserver\plumtree\common\public\css\mainstyle-en.css
Modify this file to use CSSMill to make changes:
...\ptimages\tools\cssmill\templates\portal60.template
Here are some exaples of how you can manage the display of the collapse/refresh buttons on your portlet title bars:
     Example: Hide collapse button for the portlet whose id=6 on the page whose id=1.
#pt-page-1 #pt-portlet-6 .portletCollapseButton
     display: none;
     Example: Disallow collapsing of portlets by user="guest".
.ptPageUser-guest .portletCollapseButton
     display: none;
     Example: Disable collapse buttons on all portlets for the community whose id=200.
.ptCommunity-200 .portletCollapseButton
     display: none;
You can do the same with the other buttons as well:
.portletCollapseButton
.portletHelpButton
.portletPrefsButton
.portletRefreshButton
.portletTitle (for the whole title)
I hope this helps someone else out there.

Anyone has an idea on how to modifiy the front panel when running to only show the close button (X) without the Minimize and Maximize/Restore on the top right hand side.
Thank you.

Go to File->VI Properties->Window Appearance. Click the Customize button. Uncheck the two highlighted options.

CS4 Tools on top hides close/minimize/maximize

Does the regular version of ID have this problem, too? If you put the
tools panel at the top then close ID and reopen. Does it hide the
maximize/minimize/close buttons?

The only thing I am really covering is the dropdown that allows you to
switch workspaces. It is the way I worked in CS3 and it saves me a lot
of real estate on the left hand side. It also allows me to dock some
panels on the left and have them collapsed without collapsing the tools.
If I move it the buttons come back here, too, but it's an unpleasant
surprise to want to minimize ID and have to first move the tools menu.

How can I restore Minimize & Maximize buttons in LR5

I tried clicking on the letter F, but it just brings me to Full Screen, no matter how many times I press it. I have a Mac 10.9.5. This is driving me nuts. Thanks

Just the F key doesn't work on a Mac, at least mine and the OP's

Minimize/Maximize//Close buttons, i need to disable them

I tried everything, installed ChromeEdit plus and inserted the code i found on this forum and nothing happened. I have firefox mozilla 18 at the moment and windows 7. And i didn't find UserChrome.css and UserContent.css file but this ChromeEdit tool creates those 2 files, so i looked into profile files and in chrome folder this 2 files are empty so i just need the right code.

I managed to install DOMi, i also managed to find a node by inspecting with clicks. But when i clicked on close or maximize button nothing happened.
When i click somewhere else(bookmarks or letters) its shows me a code, i can cut,edit this. But when i click on close, maximize, minimize buttons nothing happens.
