Lubuntu 18.04.2 qa-test - pop ups hard to read without window-borders

[Chris Guiver]

Lubuntu 18.04.2 QA-test install (something-else)

During partitioning, with the "Something else" visible & a list of my disk partitions, windows are opening top left of screen, they are borderless and it looks as if part of the window is off-screen, which seems confirmed when I open the "do not use this partition" list-box to select "ext4" and the positioning on the list is at the bottom going up off screen... this is not ideal, and not when I raised this bug.

I've now selected all partitions and clicked "install now" and it stops.

in the middle of the white-background borderless "Something else" window showing the table of my partitions, a borderless window is there asking me

"If you continue, the changes listed below will be written to the disks. Otherwise, you will be able to make further changes manually. \n The following partitions are going to be formatted: ..."

This is white (or near-white) background drawn on the white background of the Something-else table of my disk partitions & thus near invisible.

This does NOT affect usability, but it COULD cause people to wait as they clicked INSTALL NOW & the borderless window is asking them a question, that would be very easy to miss.

The font used in the question I think is smaller, or slightly different, but color of the question (continue, go back) is very-similar to the table of my partitions & device.for.boot.loader.installation.

The lack of borders on the window is I believe the missing issue (though pop-up boxes a different color background may also resolve this issue).

This is a COSMETIC issue only.

I listed this is calamares-settings-ubuntu from searches online (mainly lubuntu.me). it wasn't used by Lubuntu until 18.10 so it should be Ubiquity I now believe...

I did a "Install (entire disk) in Lubuntu Desktop amd64 in Bionic Daily"
on a virtual-machine (virtual box on fedora 29 host) and window borders were evident at all times on this install (same downloaded ISO mounted from nfs share)

//-- comments made on QA-test
vm on hp 8200 elite sff (i5-2400, 8gb, nvidia quadro 600), host fed29 using vbox
vm allocated 2gb ram & 10gb storage... need a 18.04 system for another qa-test
no issues; (borders on windows visible on installer here!)
