The current BFB (Dash Home Button) does not match the original reference
design. I know this isn't anything major, however it looks much more
visually slick/professional and shouldn't be hard to implement. What do you
think?

I think the idea counts as a "PaperCut" but if for some reason you cant implement it - give some direction dor finding who can please :)

this is how it looks in Unity 5.4 (soon to release) but work is on going to refine it further
