Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

Metacity Buttons on the top bar are blurred and not as sharp as the buttons on windows.

This seems to be because the buttons are scaled down a couple of pixels, hence they are not as good as the intended buttons

If the scaling down is to conserve space on the top bar, it would be ideal to make separate buttons for the top bar at those sizes so that they dont appear blurry. Attaching screenshot

Thanks Vish for the report. WIll someone from the Unity team please

From dup Bug #638816 , Christian mentions:
"It looks like they have a dark border"

but rev 518 only alters the icon size , and nothing about the border is addressed.

@Christian, is that enough? Or do the borders also need to go?

The styling of window controls in the panel for maximised windows,
including borders / framing, should be identical to that in the window
title bar.

They are no longer blurred on unity trunk, the themeing aspect is being tracked by another bug.
