From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

According to you.
No interface has squares everywhere. I think this type of switch is VERY established.

I've seen plenty of people using GTK themes with rectangular switches.
Interesting!
I personally think slightly rounded and normal round is the best. But the default is fine for me.
I think you are doing really great work! Even though I would have used KDE as design reference but we all are different.
My thing with squares, in some places or everywhere, but I is that they are not visually welcoming, in my very personal opinion of course. Curves look "safer" so to speak.
Metro UI toggle buttons were rectangular though.
