Actually, the icons themselves are OK, but there's too much space wasted above and below them. Maybe it would be easier to hit the buttons if they were actual buttons, or at least had a frame of some kind? I can see how especially the shrink button (_) seems tiny. I just tried making a couple of variations of the ordinary buttons -- I'll attach the image below. First the original, then the same with maybe five pixels removed, then I made the horizontal spacing wider and added "3D" bars between the buttons to make them look more like separate buttons rather than just some strange symbols, and then a variation with full 3D buttons. What do you think? Disclaimer: I'm not a GUI designer and don't know what I'm doing with a paint program :-)
