The latest change in light-themes to drop the window borders lowers the visual quality and the usability of the desktop for Metacity users. Unity 2D users are all affected as well as Classic desktop users with 'No Effects'.
Visually there is no frontier any more between application which just looks odd. I do not know of any other OS that does that. The main difference with Compiz is that Metacity does not have shadows.
Usability wise, the border was also use has a handle (probably too thin) to let the user resize the window. Without that border the user can only resize the window using the bottom right handle. |

Proposal to re-apply zero-pixel borders:
Bug #740579 ("Wishlist: move to 0px borders now that Unity and Unity-2D/Metacity can cope") |
