I like the OS X border-less style, but of course that necessitates a compositing engine + drop shadows. I think a very minimal window border would go a long way to professionalizing and de-cartooning the GNOME desktop. As I see it right now, the wide borders reflect the very annoying hard-outlined GNOME style icons. This is a trend that seems to be self-perpetuating for no good reason (look at the icon sheets for Firefox 3. See the Linux set? Why are we making new icons that look like they're stuck in 1998?). -Sumit Julian Oliver wrote: > i don't understand why there is this pixel-eating, thick translucent > border around the windows. on laptops (which increasingly average at > 1024x768 pixels) this would be especially impractical. > > why not just do away with the strange exaggerated border? it's like the > theme attempts minimalism but gets self-conscious about it along the > way. > > my 2 bytes. > > </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> </BODY> </HTML>
