We should make the new tab button on OS X visually 32 pixels wide.  This is similar to other platforms, matches the width of the site and search buttons, and makes the button a little easier to target and hit.  It isn't currently visually 32 pixels wide due to the images we use for tabs on OS X making it appear smaller.  Details in the attached mockup.

I don't really see any mention of losing the hover effect in the mockup, but I suppose it is less translucent by default. Alex?
That's based on reverse engineering attachment 364166 [details] -- the icon doesn't seem to be faded there, otherwise it would be really dark (i.e. black) on hover.

I can't really find any other instance of a hover effect icon change on OS X (do you know of any?), so I think it makes sense to drop the hover effect.
