Bug Description

There should be an option to increase the size of buttons: minimize, maximize, and exit under:
System Settings > Personal > Appearance

The number of appearance modification options is ridiculously limited in Ubuntu 12.10 compared to other major operating systems and even compared to the old Gnome2 desktop.

I'm not big on fancy options, but I find sizing options crucial for usability.

Future updates and releases of Ubuntu should at least focus on adding Appearance options that allow you to control the default sizes of scrollbars, title bars, and "exit,maximize,minimize button-sizes.

Thank you for your bug report, there is no plan to add those options at the moment. You can discuss the idea on https://lists.launchpad.net/unity-design/ though if you want to get it considered
