Sorry I think I didn't make myself clear enough. About the circular button I meat the circular shape of the buttons. I think their design being circular is not consistent with the rest of the design of the unity. Which has more squarish throughout.
I agree with the global menu bar for maximized window is a great idea; but the point I raised was for non-maximized windows. Its nice to have the windows control available on the ( un-maximized) window it self; but for the windows menu one still have to traverse the mouse pointer to the top bar. I think it would be better to have windows menu also on the (un-maximized) window itself. I got the idea of the design.
