Yes, I think we should review the iconography used to represent
"maximise" and "restore". At the moment, we have two rectangles, one
larger and one smaller, for those two different behaviours.

I think there are well-established symbols for full-screen and
non-fullscreen, c.f. YouTube and the like. Perhaps we should use those
for the "maximise" and "restore" visuals in the window controls?
