#2567: frame buttons are too intense (and ugly)

In the current version (I'm seeing build 537), the buttons in the frame
and title bar now bear more strong visual intensity with white filled
look. In the ticket #2148, the reason behind the design change was
explained as "feel more clickable" buttons, but new buttons don't provide
that feel.
When you try to work on laptop, your eyes scan the screen from top to
bottom, usually, while you think. These high contrast buttons and tabs
suck your attention to themselves, rather than helping the user to
concentrate on the actual content.
Ugliness of them is subjective, but the button with black dots in white
circle, for example, is creepy enough to cause goose bumps to some of the
users.
