Basically, no. Those buttons are a function of the Windows standard window
creation logic. It is possible to add to or change those buttons (using
ctypes) - but you are looking at some pretty hairy and poorly documented
routines (such as the required callbacks for each button).

What you CAN do is use the overrideredirect method to turn off the entire
top bar and instead put one of your own (Tkinter) buttons there. Just
don't forget to handle the (closing, moving the window, etc.,) events for
the window.

All true. Yet another possibility: leave the buttons
in place, but bind alternate actions to them.
