It's not just about touchscreens. Even using a mouse it takes slightly longer to get the cursor exactly on the smaller icons.
And with touchpads this is also a bigger problem in 17.10 than previous releases... Because the switch to libinput means (for many people) lower touchpad precision. So it's even harder to get the cursor onto the small window buttons. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-themes in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1693609 Title: Please make window control buttons larger Status in Ubuntu UX: New Status in ubuntu-themes package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The window control buttons ( _ 🗖 X ) in Ambiance are noticeably smaller than other icon buttons in the headerbar of a "native" GNOME3 app. I think this is both a visual issue and an accessibility issue since it is harder to click the window control buttons than the other buttons. Please compare with Adwaita which has a much larger click area for the window control buttons. Commentary ---------- Remember that one of the major strengths of GNOME 3 is that it is usable on a touch-enabled laptop. And while there are many people that complain about Adwaita, I believe many more actually like the proportions and padding of the default GNOME theme! ubuntu-themes 16.10+17.10.20170518-0ubuntu1 Ubuntu 17.10 Alpha To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ux/+bug/1693609/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
