Hi,
I have a problem with very tiny window management icons (minimize, maximize, close).
I can't enlarge them in the settings.
Does anyone know how can I enlarge them by modifying some configuration/theme files?
Thank you in advance.

Do you use Trisquel's default desktop environment (including its window manager, marco)? Trisquel Mini's desktop environment (including its window manager, Openbox)? Something else?

Assuming we are talking about the default Trisquel settings with MATE, I would either:

1. try a different theme, like TraditionalOK, which provides somewhat larger icons for window buttons,
2. customize the current theme and choose a different window border with suitable icons. TraditionalOK is also an option here.
3. keep my current theme as it is and try to enlarge those icons based on the following information:

Then, prospero's assumption was right. Have you tried what he suggested?
