You can approach it through AppKit. SwiftUI views hosted in a macOS window still sit inside an NSWindow, and you can access that window.

Once you have the NSWindow, call
standardWindowButton(_:) with the appropriate NSWindow.ButtonType to grab the traffic-light button you want to customize.

From there you adjust the underlying NSButton and its NSButtonCell. That gives you control over size, insets, and other layout details. If you need full control over the look or behavior, subclassing NSButtonCell is usually the cleanest path.

There is a problem that when you resize the window, the buttons go back to their default position, but when you close the window and reopen it, the buttons are in the position that we explicitly set
I was able to solve the problem by saving the original system frame buttons and then applying the offset relative to these original values, rather than relative to the current position, which was recalculated by the system each time.
