Windows Borders in 14.04


Can someone assist me in getting Windows Borders in 14.04? Every since Unity I have been using Gnome-Tweak to install the Dust theme which has excellent borders around the windows. However after upgrading to 14.04 this doesn't work. There are no borders around the windows, and this makes it very hard to tell where one window starts and another ends. It's also very hard to tell which window is active because the title bar in both the active window and the inactive window are so much alike.

I tried using Windows Decorator in CCSM, however, you have to disable Unity to use that feature.

In previous versions I have used "gnome-tweek-tool" and selected a version of the theme Dust which I modified. Unfortunately gnome-tweek-tool doesn't work in this 14.04 release.

Thanks in advance for anyone who has input on this.

It appears to be insane to not have borders around the windows and have both the activate and inactive title bars looking so indistinguishable.

Just to make you feel better, one of the improvements to the Unity version used in Tasty Turkey is the removal of windows borders.

Get with the program. Ubuntu devs know better than you do how you should be using your box.
