Unnecessary thick dark border around window

[Trikenstein]

Using dark solid theme, released on 2021-10-30. I think the tick dark border surrounding the window is un-necessary. Especially on unfocused windows.

What border do you refer to? Can you send a screenshot with an example?

Hi sorry,

Would you be OK to consider re-opening this issue? Was a bit busy lately.

Here is a screenshot showing the tick borders. This becomes particularly visible when I add a colored titlebar by adding this at the bottom of ~/.themes/Flat-Remix-GTK-Teal-Dark-Solid\gtk.css

.titlebar, headerbar {
  background-color: #126670;
}
.titlebar:backdrop, headerbar:backdrop {
  background-color: #0b3f46;
}

Granted the colored titlebar is not part of the initial design. But still, do you think the thick border design is still relevant?

Hi there, I closed this issue because I thought you were talking about the shadow on non-focused windows like in https://github.com/daniruiz/flat-remix-gtk/issues/127

My issue with that border is that it is a trick to be able to round bottom corners of windows that are not rounded by default. Otherwise the previous square corner overflows the window

One thing I can do is remove the top border color, as that one is not required for this trick

• without top border
• with top border

But I'll still need the side borders

Another option would be using a border with the same background-color and transparency as the headerbar:

I've done a mix of the changes I suggested. Now all themes are update so you can test them. Tell me if that works for you. I really think this is a good improvement, so thanks for reporting it ;)

Personally I think this one is the best. Thanks you very much for taking care of the request.
