As part of the big bug review for 16.04 LTS I have tested this on 15.10
and the bug is still there. I think this is a feature request rather
than a bug.

Title:
14.04 Unity pips (white dots in bar) are now too small.

Bug description:
On all 14.04 installs I've tinkered with so far they've all exhibited
this behavior. The pips (white dots) next to the icons in the Unity
bar are too small. I never noticed this before, so I went back to a
13.10 install to compare. The pips on 14.04 are so small that they,
quite frankly, feel useless. They need to be of adequate size in an
effort to be easily seen by the user, regardless of the actual icon
size.
Take note of the size of the white pips on the Unity launcher in the
following screenshots.

Here's an alternative 'direct download' link to the images just in
case: http://skynetcore.org/shared/pips.tar.gz
In an effort to present an accurate comparison I included the following
screenshots
(note that 48 px on both 13.10 and 14.04 seem identical, it's just the
smaller sizes that down-scale too far)
13.10 - 32 px
14.04 - 32 px
13.10 - 48 px
14.04 - 48 px
I also included a 5th screenshot of 26 px in 14.04 in case it helps
further show what I'm referencing.
While scaling the size of the pips makes sense to a certain degree,
the current behavior scales them far too small. I feel as though they
should have (at minimal) a 13.10 oriented type of scaling so they are
more easily viewable, and therefore, more useful. If they could be
adjusted in size, that would be a monumental bonus as well, but I have
a feeling that might be a stretch for the given time frame. :)
Thank you for your time!
