Description

Just installed this gorgeous theme on Debian 8.3 with Gnome desktop environment. Some windows like Firefox etc. have too small top control buttons, as well as some other type of shadow around the borders. How could this be fixed? Thanks. screenshot from 2016-02-19 17 52 23

Research direction
The issue reports that top control buttons in Firefox are too small on a High DPI display. This is likely due to missing or incorrect CSS scaling in the theme's GTK stylesheet. The fix would involve inspecting the relevant CSS files (likely in the gtk 3.0 directory) and adding media queries or adjusting button sizes for high resolution screens. Check the existing CSS for window decorations and control buttons, and consider testing with different scaling factors. Refer to the Gnome HIG for appropriate button sizes.
