I downloaded a few themes from various ppa's, and i don't like the button for closing, minimalizing etc. Are those themes stored in some kind of directory where i can edit their files? I'm using Unity Tweak Tool for applying them. Thank you!

Default themes directory is /usr/share/themes/ but it's editable only for root. If You want to edit themes the default directory for current user would be ~/.themes/ I believe.

You can find the others in the same directory /usr/share/themes/ with their respective names.

If you want to find out the location of some app, file or anything else in the terminal type:

whereis 'name_you_search' - for example ''whereis firefox''

It will give you the directory in which the file is located.

When you type ''whereis themes'' you should get something like this:

themes: /usr/share/themes

So the themes are inside /usr/share directory
