This is not only a problem with Numix. Ambiance and Radiance look kind of OK but they have messed up rounded corners. All the other themes I tried have the same huge borders.
Only happens with GTK3 (I think) windows though (Nautilus, Tweak-UI, GEdit). I do not have compositing turned off as far as I know. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/1516323/+attachment/4541677/+files/Screenshot%20from%202015-12-29%2011-16-40.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to metacity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1516323 Title: With compositing off some apps have a huge black border Status in metacity package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: In Xenial I notice with compositing switched off several apps (nautilus, gedit, totem, gnome-tweak-tool, system-monitor & empathy) have a huge black border as shown in the attached screenshot.
