Do you know that for a fact, or is that unproductive slander against people who choose to volunteer their personal time?

Please take that sort of thing elsewhere.

See the reddit linked above (not by me). Many people explaining why CSD is a bad/wrong choice if the UI will ever be integrated with another product.
But fine. I'll unsub to this topic, wont post in it again.

I have downgraded gtk3 to 3.10.7-1 and the issue does not happen anymore, however I'd like to use the latest GTK3. Is it possible to disable the client-side decorations?

No, because the header bar contains important functionality, not just the window title and decoration. (Otherwise, there would have been no point in switching to CSD is the first place.) E.g. in Calculator you would lose the menu that allows you to switch between basic/advanced/financial/programming mode.  In Web you would lose the forward/back buttons, address bar, and menu.

What precisely do you want changed?

But there's little point in providing negative feedback to GNOME/GTK+ when the GTK+ developers took pains to make sure all of these changes are configurable by both the theme and the desktop environment, in order to avoid precisely these complaints, which WERE justified after the 3.10 release.

Re: GTK3 apps ugly since yesterday (either upgrade or package removal!)

I posted a patch here that will disable the client-side decorations at least for GtkDialog.  This won't fix GNOME applications, but it works for third-party ones such as EasyTag or Audacious.

Edit: Patched gtk3 package for x86_64 compiled here.  Add gtk3 to IgnorePkg or non-patched updates will install over it.

Re: GTK3 apps ugly since yesterday (either upgrade or package removal!)

I am going to push the patched package to AUR.
EDIT: Here it is: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gtk3-noforcedcsd/

Re: GTK3 apps ugly since yesterday (either upgrade or package removal!)

Hey, I just got a solution from reddit,

http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/ … all_gnome/

edit `~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css` and put in :
```
.window-frame {
  box-shadow: none;
  margin: 0;
}
```

Someone had already posted the solution in this thread, on page 2 as well as your own reddit thread.

Works fine with most gtk3 windows, but "synapse" still get double shadows. Maybe another css class?
