Description

IMO, the titlebar buttons of wt are not crisp, instead they look a bit fuzzy/blurry (atleast on my laptop).

Tested both on Intel HD 630 (screenshots in op) and Nvidia GTX 1050 (screenshot below) -
Screenshot (452)

I see the (somewhat) melting text bug in 2x magnification and above (on both nvidia and intel).
2x Magnification
2x
4x Magnification
4x

(Without using the magnify tool, the text in wt looks good enough, so I can't tell if the melting text bug is present or not, however at 2x magnification and above, the text doesn't look so good, idk if that is expected or not.)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the blurry title bar buttons on the Intel HD 630 and Nvidia GTX 1050 setups described in the issue, including the 2x and 4x magnification cases. Compare the normal and magnified rendering against the attached screenshots; done means the title bar buttons are crisp and the magnified text no longer shows the reported melting or blurry appearance.
