Increase Min,Max & Close Buttons

[DaveC]

Hello everyone!

Just made the full switch from XP to Win7 and everything is just fine and running well.
However there's one small thing that I don't like.

I use the standard Aero Skin and would like to increase the Min,Max & Close Buttons in the Explorer Window.

There's between the bottom ledge of the buttons and the bottom ledge of the title bar a small gap (See Screen), that i'd like to remove with increasing the size of the buttons.
Already edited the settings in "Window Color and Appearence" but unfortunely it's not completly to my wishes.

I'd like to keep the gap as small as possible.

It's not the design that disturbs me, it's more a practical issue with some Programs that I use that are docked to the top of my screen, while the titlebar is already out of the screen area.


Is there some Way to change that to my likings?

Thanx in advanced for your help.

I'm afraid there's no way to do that. I just tried and the bit below the buttons got bigger as well.

Oh, welcome to Seven Forums.

Thank you so much for the quick reply and investing your time to help me.

Well that's unfortunely that it didn't work.

Just a question...would it atleast be possible to move the buttons down instead of resizing them?
Was looking at some custom Themes for some ideas and found some possibilities that would come close to my likings.
Or is the only solution, to somehow create custom buttons?

For example

Post a link to that theme and I will look at it and try to determine how they did that.

Thanx Bongo, here's the link

The 1 with the buttons lower is the Windows Basic theme not aero, they edit the images to look the way. I will check with some other guys I know to see if it can be done, will get back to you in a day or 2.

Both of these are Basic themes.

Royal Blue

@Bongo Hello, any news on my issue?

I don't mean to speak for Bongo, but he has been sick and not able to be at the PC as much as normal.

Oh sorry, didn't know that... Best wishes and get healthy!

Sorry it took so long to get back to you, I have asked the experts on theme building and so far it doesn't look like it's possible.
