After playing around with some of the easier themes (Simple-Generic) and modifying it a little in regard to the x- and ythickness values I can indeed confirm that these cause the border around the desktop.
xthickness = 0 ythickness = 0 in the "/usr/share/themes/Simple-Generic/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" (if you have that theme installed) - no border around the desktop. I cannot find the widget class name of the nautilus desktop only, wich would provide a quick workaround for any theme with this problem. Anyone happen to know this? Posting this at the end of any theme with the border problem should remove this - replace <X> by the widget name, once you found it. ;) style "fix_nautilus_desktop_border" { ythickness = "0" xthickness = "0" } widget_class "<X>" style "fix_nautilus_desktop_border" -- Light 1px border around desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/507263 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
