window borders don't have anti aliasing

[Blu]

I'm not all that familiar with Ubuntu, so please bare with me.

On my default Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook Edition Installation (Although I believe this problem is universal with 10.04's Non-KDE variants.) my window borders appear rounded, but without Anti-Aliasing, so it appears jagged and, for lack of a better term; ugly.

I've researched a bit and found that the problem is within "Metacity", although I'm not quite sure what exactly metacity is.

Could someone please fix this?

Well, just for give you a little help; Metacity is the default Window
Manager of GNOME. What does it do? it draws and controls the windows
borders ;)

Thank you for helping with making Ubuntu and Metacity better by reporting this bug. I can confirm this issue, have found an upstream report describing the same problem at <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=345249>.

However, unfortunately I don't think that this bug is trivial enough to fix to accept it as a paper cut. It's not that easy to implement this feature, so that's where this bug report falls short of the criteria for the paper cuts project.

I'm marking this bug as Invalid ONLY in the One Hundred Paper Cuts project. I'm changing the status in Ubuntu to Triaged, since the bug is confirmed and an upstream report has been found, and the status to Wishlist, since this is an enhancement suggestion, not a regression.

I think the importance should be higher. Ubuntu's new look is really good, except the bad rounded edge. It made whole Ubuntu looks terrible -- every window has four ugly edges.

For a 7 years nothing changes, even with Gnome 3 release. How we can get somebody's attention to this problem?

This is a Compiz issue, and is being worked on.

AFAIK this is fixed upstream and only the Compiz issue is remaining now. Marking as duplicate.
