Bug description
The Min, Open, and Close buttons are a bit small and not always easy to click. Can these be larger? Attached pics for reference.
Also making them square seems to fit the feel of the rest of the theme better.
Steps to reproduce
Open any window such as the File Browser.
Expected behavior
Easier to see and click with the least amount of effort
Additional information
All the other buttons in Mint-Y theme are square with a slight border radius. Would seem to flow better with the rest of the theme if the Min, Max, and Close buttons showed a hover effect in a matching square shape.
Here's a modified version of the Mint-Y theme to demonstrate.
