I am having an issue in Ubuntu 16.04 . When I open a window such as a terminal window or the attached file properties window, the window border including the close , minimize etc icons are obscured by colored noise. What could be causing this?  I have lived with this for a while but it's becoming very frustrating. Thanks.

I am looking for an image viewer software without very large window borders. I don't need any type of toolbar, just a simple image viewer.   It would also be fine if there is no top bar to close, minimize or maximize window.

In a terminal window, I can use File > Open Tab to get two tabs in the same window. Then, if I move the terminal up to the top of the OS, those two tabs become two separated windows.  How can I merge those two windows back to one (like I had before)?

About 10 minutes ago I set up my basic Terminal app to be semi-transparent and was really happy with the result. Now, some updates ran and the whole "Background" tab is gone from Terminal settings. Was this option removed? If yes, why? Why would anyone do that?  I'm running gnome-terminal 3.10.2 from the Gnome3 ppa.

Since using Yosemite, I've had the annoying problem of my current Terminal window flashing when backspacing on an empty line. I know on previous versions of OS X this flashing was not default, and could be toggled in accessibility settings, but I cannot find the same setting and I'm dying to get this turned off. Any known ways to get rid of it?

looks like this.  The icons show the desktop background behind them only after hovering over them. It doesn't happen all the time. The desktop became that way upon highlighting it, as you can see. I am currently using  as a stand in for my  while it is being repaired. I sent the Nvidia GPU in for repair because of this black background problem. Originally I had an Intel set up; I bought my Nvidia GPU just before building a new PC entirely. The parts I salvaged from my Intel system build were my PSU and the Nvidia GP I sent in. I never had this problem before I put the Nvidia GPU in my Intel build, but, now even in my AMD build and with an XFX card I still get this glitch/error. Note: I also salvaged my HDD and SSD from my old build. That could be the problem. All I have is Windows and it was a fresh install as of 2 or so months ago. This problem is (from what I can tell) cosmetic, I don't get any harmful system errors stops or glitches, but, I rather like my background so I’d like to have it fixed. As you can see in  I show the parts I salvaged from . Any part not shown in my Intel build was transferred from it to the AMD build. That’s all the information I have, though. Thanks to anyone taking the time to help.

Just moved from Unity to GNOME with the update to Ubuntu 17.10. There is a HUGE amount of wasted space at the top of the screen, when an application is open.  Evolution and Firefox both have four "bars" with 90% of each empty. Unity, to its credit was able to blend / mix these horizontal bars so there was only one / two.      Four is way too much. If this is GNOME I may carry on with Unity for the next six months.  Can anybody suggest a tweak/change/fix for this?

I am using the default Ubuntu dock with bottom placement and org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock extend-height set to false. With Ubuntu 18.10 this produces a noticeable visual glitch, note the black empty spaces at the edges of the dock:    I am getting this both on an upgraded system and on a clean install inside a VM. This was working fine in Ubuntu 18.04. Also happens if the theme is set to something else than Yaru (the default theme in Ubuntu 18.10). Reboot does not help. Dock looks OK if extend-height is enabled.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

I have two questions :  First, I wanted to hide Ubuntu’s side-bar, so I set the settings in appearance to 'autohide'. The side bar did indeed disappear but when I roll over the left side, the side bar don't appear again. So, I am using a virtual box. Can it explain the fact that this bar doesn't show again when it is set to autohide.   Second, assuming I wouldn't be able to come over the problem, I pined to the dock every element of the sidebar, except the dash home. Is it possible either to pin it in the dock or to launch it from the terminal ?

I'm on Ubuntu 16.04.1 at the moment, and system windows like the Files window, Terminal or System Software open behind the Unity launcher, which means they are partially hidden behind it. I can move them with Alt+F7, but I'd like a more permanent solution to this problem.

I don't know what I did wrong in my Ubuntu 18.04 OS. For some reason some of my apps look like this:    This also happens to other gnome apps like pdf-reviewer and Logs. Window title, menu bar etc. are all blank, display only squares.  *Problem solved: I downloaded Google Fonts, saved them in a new folder, they can be applied system-wide, but after I did some font settings using Google Fonts it didn't work. I changed the font of Interface with Tweaks-Tool, that was what causing the problem.

This command  gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock transparency-mode    can have these values: 'FIXED' 'DEFAULT' 'DYNAMIC' 'ADAPTIVE'.  But none makes the dock bar completely transparent, that is, only the icons are visible.  any ideas?

I am running Ubuntu 11.04 with gnome 2.3 and I would like my terminal window to be transparent.  The problems is the transparent settings in my terminal just shows the desktop background and not the actual windows that are opened behind the terminal. This works on my laptop where I have Xubuntu 11.10 and I see no reason why it should not work the same here.  This is how it should look:    This is how it looks:

I'm writing a technical documentation and I want to explain step-by-step how to go through various menus.  For example I used to write Open with &gt; VLC media player.  That's how it looks in Windows 8:     What I want in Latex should looks similar to this: light grey box, dark grey border and black windows-like font.    I've seen , suggesting the package  - but it looks very old fashioned - are there any more modern approaches?

Is there any way to disable Command+W in the terminal?   On several occasions I have accidentally closed a terminal window containing important information when I meant to close a Safari tab and did not realize that the terminal was the active window.
