I have multiple terminal windows open with a black background and the black shadow on the black background is completely lost when they overlap. This is a problem for any windows with a black background. I used to modify unity.css to add window borders, but 17.10 is Gnome and that doesn't work any more! I don't see any Gnome theme controls in the settings UI either.

Worked in Ubuntu 17.04, but not 17.10

Edit /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-3.20/apps/unity.css and change

-UnityDecoration-extents: 28px 0 0 0;

to

-UnityDecoration-extents: 28px 2 2 2;

Doesn't work: gnome-terminal.css

Edit /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-3.20/apps/gnome-terminal.css

@define-color terminal_border #ff0000;



vte-terminal.terminal-screen {

    -TerminalScreen-background-darkness: 0.95;

    background-color: @terminal_bg;

    color: #fff;

    border-width: 1px 1px 0px 1px;

    border-color: @terminal_border;

}

Doesn't work: gnome-applications.css

Edit /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-3.20/apps/gnome-applications.css
to say

TerminalScreen {

    background-color: @theme_base_color;

    color: @theme_fg_color;

    -TerminalScreen-background-darkness: 0.95;

    border-bottom-width: 2px;

    border-right-width: 2px;

    border-left-width: 2px;

}



TerminalWindow GtkNotebook.notebook {

    border-bottom-width: 2px;

    border-right-width: 2px;

    border-left-width: 2px;

}

Possible Hint:

Maybe I should be editing something in /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme?
