Hi Flying maverick. Would you be able to explain why it is a better practice to use the marlett font? I have three different implementations, and I am not sure which one to use. The first is using path data points, the second is using marlett and the third is a recreation of the buttons in SVG format. I am trying to use 100% best practices in this project and am not sure which one is the best option. Could you explain why marlett is better?

Hi user1632018 If your looking to create a custom chrome window in Winform or WPF, you should take a look at the ‘Marlett’ font that is available on your system. This font contains the actual glyphs used in Windows for the Minimize, Maximize, Restore and Close buttons. Using this font makes it really easy to reuse these glyphs in a custom chrome window, instead of custom images that is typically used. You can take a look at the Marlett font in the Windows Character Map or the following link for more details: microsoft.com/typography/fonts/font.aspx?FMID=1264 Hope this helps.
