Default Minimize and Close button location

Is there any way to control the positioning of the minimize and close buttons on windows... most notably on chat windows?

In the EQUI_Templates.xml is all of the info you need, along with EQUI_Animations.xml

The DrawTemplate defines which animation to use for normal, click, roll-over, etc. The Animation defines where the graphics can be found in what texture file for each button state. In the ChatWindow.xml, it simply defines whether to display to button or not (<Style_Closebox>true</Style_Closebox>). I do not see any definition in those files as to positioning of the button itself.

So, looking at that, based on what you said, I am assuming that the answer is no?

I suppose I could 'trick' it by defining a transparent border on the top and left of the button animation, although I would assume the transparent part would still be clickable... thereby making it a hack at best.

Sometimes what you call a "hack" is the only way possible to make it work. As for your original request .. i do believe that the close and minimize buttons are hardcoded as to location(meaning you cant change them) you can change the animation it uses but I dont think you can alter its loc.

Correct, they seem to be hard coded for their position.
