Changing Close button icon.

[thndrwrks]

How might I go about changing the icons of the close button? My app can only be closed from the system tray (think Spotify) so I would like to change the close icon to be more indicative of it's behavior.

The icons of the window buttons are currently hard-coded paths in the style for WindowButtonCommands. You have to create your own style if you want to change the icons.

@thndrwrks @thoemmi or you can set the WindowCloseButtonStyle property of the MetroWindow with your own style that sets the content

@thndrwrks @thoemmi na, my fail, yet not possible to override the content

[punker76]

@thndrwrks is it maybe enough for you to disable or hide the button? if so, you can set IsCloseButtonEnabled or ShowCloseButton

[thoemmi]

I think you're right, @punker76 . By overriding WindowCloseButtonStyle you could change Button.Content to replace the Path with something else.

@thoemmi no, it's not possible, cause the content is set explicit https://github.com/MahApps/MahApps.Metro/blob/master/MahApps.Metro/Themes/MetroWindow.xaml#L598-L600
don't really know if we should change this
