You mean button size so the click area is smaller and the button glyphs are close to each other? Because i think the buttons are right next to each other with no space in between.

I don't know a solution unfortunately. A quick experiment reveals the CLOSEBUTTON + CLOSEBUTTONGLYPH part in DWMWindow seem to have no effect in that regard. Maybe you can find some visual style that achieved what you want and see what they did.

I also saw people mess with HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics to reduce the caption bar size and with it the button size.

Thanks for your advice🙏, what i mean is like caption buttons in MacOS, the frame is square, 1: 1, unlike in Windows 11 - 1:2, the famous theme creator in Deviantart : niivu also knows this topic and suggest me to try the content margin somehow to adjut, i did it in msstyle but it didn't work ( using WSB and MsstyleEditor )...the point here is the frame or spacing of the caption buttons ( minmaxclose ). How to make it 1:1, not default 1:2, 1:2,5....

After a few days, it is clear that the spacing of caption buttons determined by the frames ratios, square 1:1 or rectangel 1:2, 1:3, the buttons its self are the contents, therefore the question is how to adjust the frames of the caption buttons ? From rectangel to square
