About borders.. The blue window glow around the windows is also quite
oldish,
of course, personally :) I have turned it off, since windows look much
better
without the glow, also dragging windows is much faster when compositing is
on,
without the glow (at least on my 3-year old laptop). So it would be a good
thought
to have it disabled by default (of course, let there be the option to enabl=
e
it)
Just a thought :)
Cheers,
Viranch
