Borderless Elementary


Borderless Elementary

Borderless Elementary is just a modified Elementary theme which looks very slick thanks to the removal of the borders and smaller widgets. This theme is ideal for a netbook, but looks great on any screen resolution.

To use it, download and extract the .zip, then rename the folder to "borderless-elementary" and move it to the ~/.themes folder (or /usr/share/themes if you want the root windows to be themed too).

Then in the Appearance Preferences window, select the normal Elementary theme, click "Customize" and:

- under the "Controls" tab, select "borderless-elementary"
- under the "Window Border" tab select "borderless-elementary"
