Assuming by close buttons etc, you mean the ones on the titlebar -- the window decorations, that's a function of the window decorations, as set in kde system settings, workspace appearance and behavior, workspace appearance, window decorations. You can choose between different decorations (with more downloadable from kdelook using the get new decorations button if you don't like what's there) for general appearance, and then depending on the decoration chosen, hit the configure decoration... button. The available settings in that dialog very much depend on what decoration you're running, with the default oxygen decoration having a whole set of configuration options, while that dialog's pretty bare by comparison with some of the others. At least on the default oxygen decoration, on the general tab you can configure both border size and button size independently, along with a whole host of other options on the other tabs (and there's a whole additional tab, animations, plus a couple options on the other tabs, available if advanced is selected). The scrollbar (and other non-window-decoration general kde UI elements) are configured in a different kcontrol module, still in kde system settings, under common appearance and behavior, application appearance, style, applications tab. Again the default oxygen style is far more configurable than the others, and you can set scrollbars width on its configure dialog scrollbars tab. While still in the style module, take a look at the fine tuning tab. You may want to experiment a bit with the graphical effects dropdown. However, while I remember discovering at least one thing it does affect at some point (I believe after someone hinted at it in a post here), I don't remember what it was, and the effect is subtle enough it was hard for me to figure out what difference it made even when I was looking for it, on my own. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
