Where is the window border stored?

If you open a finder or system prefs window, or even the top of an app like firefox,

you have that ugly gray border where the search bar and window-resize buttons are.

I just want to know where the resource for it is.

I know it should be in disk Library or Core but I don't really know where to find it.

I have 10.8 not that it matters.


If it's just an image resource then I only want to darken it, that's all.


I assume I'll get no help but I just want to try anyway.

Hi,


The header/title bar as you call it will be inside the app package for third party apps like Firefox.

Mine in Firefox is actually themed and not grey.

Similarly Apple Apps will have a NIB item that controls the windowing and title bars.


I would expect as you suggest that these will be in Hard Drive Name/System/Library/Core Services somewhere.

But it is just as likely they are stored in one of the invisible folders
