I upgraded to 11.2 recently, and it has a different default desktop theme than 11.1 - which I like fine, except for one detail: Maximized windows have a little border area at the left and right, which is an annoyance when you want to slide your mouse all the way to the right and grab the scrollbar.
There’s a “window border” setting in the theme properties but it doesn’t seem to have any effect. No matter what setting I change I can’t get this to go away - I’d appreciate any suggestions.
I just had a look for this but I don’t see it. I have a new default gnome install in a Virtual Machine.
Hi
That sounds like the ‘edges’ in desktop effects. If you open the
Control Center->Look and Feel->Desktop Effects and the Edges Tab, here
just right-click the areas in bright green and set to none.

Thanks, but that’s definitely not it. As far as I can tell, that only controls the behavior when you move the mouse to the edge of the screen, to flip from one desktop to the next. I disabled them anyway, and it made no difference.
I have a screenshot of what I’m talking about, if it helps (pardon the silliness):
Hi
So, when you you disable desktop effects, it’s the same?
