How to Change close, minimize and maximize icon(urgent)

Hi All,
I am writing application on windows and I want to replace close, minimize and maximize icon of QMainWindow's Title to my own Icon,

And one more thing I want to change the color of title bar as well.

How I can do this.

Please help out it's very urgent for me.

This is one way to do ---->

1.First make the QMainWindow frameless.
2.Then Create Push button with your own icon on the top left of window.
3. When user push that time emit the signal for close, min and max.

But the problem with this approach is I can't move window.

Thanks any suggestion will really helpful.

void mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *e)
    {
        if (e->button() != Qt::LeftButton)
            return;
        m_mousePressPoint = e->pos(); // can be tested whenever it is in required region.
        m_canMoveWindow = true; // initialized with false value
    }
    void mouseMoveEvent(QMouseEvent *e)
    {
        if ( ! m_canMoveWindow)
            return;
        move(pos() + e->pos() - m_mousePressPoint);
    }
    void mouseReleaseEvent(QMouseEvent *e)
    {
        m_canMoveWindow = false;
    }
