Binary package hint: unity
In the Unity panel, the active target area of the window controls for maximized windows does not extend to the top 2 pixels on the screen. This means that great care must be taken to actually click on the controls.
According to Fitts's law, extending the active area to the top of the screen would make the controls infinitely tall and greatly increase the speed at which they can be activated and clicked by the mouse. This would greatly improve usability of maximized windows in Unity.
