Of course, if you're not very precise with your pointing device (or
visually impaired, or simply using a high-resolution screen) you're
pretty much screwed with the new theme anyway since it is apparently a
design decision (!) not to allow the buttons to scale (bug #532641,
status "Won't fix") and, to add insult to injury, to not give any visual
feedback as to which button has been pressed (bug #532551).

Sadly, the design team doesn't feel the need to comment on those bugs
(especially the first one) either.
