One of the easiest ways to change the appearance of your computer’s application windows is by changing the desktop theme.

Your desktop comes with several built-in themes. Each theme changes the way the windows look, including all buttons and sometimes, even the icons used. To change your desktop theme:

Select SystemPreferencesAppearance.

Under the Theme tab, select a theme from the available options. Selecting an option automatically applies the changes to your desktop.

Once you are satisfied with the theme, click Close.
