I added the following to my ~/.gtkrc-2.0. The close buttons in tabs, notifications etc. look fine now (just like in the mockup). Unfortunately this affects every other button as well.
style "my-button" { GtkWidget::focus-padding = 0 xthickness = 0 ythickness = 0 } class "GtkButton" style "my-button" I hope someone discovers a solution that *only* affects the buttons that contain a single image and are supposed to be smaller than normal widgets. -- Ok/Cancel buttons https://launchpad.net/bugs/40607 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
