Public bug reported: Using the new invisible window buttons on Unity, I noticed an annoying issue: on a maximized window, the window buttons do not extend all the way to the edges. They have a 1 to 4 pixel gap that make targetting with the mouse or the touchpad quite annoying.
Ideally, I should be able to close a window by throwing the mouse to the top-left corner and clicking blindly. This is because the 'close' button is by far the most common: - you close windows roughly an order of magnitude more often than you minimize or maximize them - you can maximize/unmaximize a window by double clicking the titlebar, so the maximize button already has a big enough target. The solution is two step: 1. make the hit-area for the three buttons extend all the way to the top edge of the screen. 2. make the hit-area for the close button extend all the way to the left edge of the screen. I am willing to send a patch, if someone can point me to the right direction. Is this part of theming (which files) or of the unity plugin? Thanks.
