Research direction

Launch Web and compare the “Show open tabs” icon with the home, back, forward, and refresh controls shown in the report. Done means the icon style, dimensions, and pressed-state color overlay present the same visual treatment as the other controls.

Description

Needs Design Status: Confirmed
What Happened?

I feel that the icon is not following the same style as, for example, home button, back and forward, or refresh. Even when you click on it, the color overlay is not a circle is an oval (I think because the current icon has different dimensions too).
