modify Simple White theme's Window Control Buttons
FF 40.0.2 Window Control Buttons (minimize, restore/maximize and close buttons) do not work when using the Simple White theme on Windows 10 and read many others have the same issue.
How would I edit this theme so that I can use the default Windows 10 Window Control Buttons?

Hi, this is really a question for the developer of the Simple White theme. Since, as you say, others are having the same problem, hopefully it will be fixed soon.
Not sure is this issue even belongs here in Firefox support, being that this user is running a 3rd party build - Waterfox.
There is a support forum of some sort for the developer of that Add-on Theme over here: https://github.com/louischan/simplewhite/issues

So you're saying it is impossible to modify the theme?

The add-on is designed for FF which WF is based on and this problem is happening with FF as well. My question is how to modify this FF based theme.
Simple White is an add-on, and as such has not been developed by Mozilla. So as I said, you would need to contact the support/developer for help - as linked to by the-edmeister.

Aren't all these themes for FF written in a language designed by Mozilla?
A theme is basically a set of CSS rules various file in a JAR file (ZIP archive). You can open the archive to inspect the files of a theme.
Does toggling this pref on the about:config page has any effect in case you have the Firefox window maximized?
- browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

It does have an effect. When set to false, the Window Control Buttons work. I hate having the titlebar, though. Interestingly, right-clicking the Window Control Buttons shows the popup menu with Minimize, Close, etc. That's when browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar is set to True.
