[SOLVED] No borders in openbox applications

I recently tried to setup plymouth and KMS, which I abandoned as it didn't end up working.

However, after uninstalling the appropriate packages and going back to nvidia-340xx-lts driver, all of my applications in openbox have no border i.e. no minimize, maximize, close option and no surrounding border at all.

This includes any desktop apps like vlc, firefox etc and also the openbox menu. Tried the re-configure openbox option with "keep border when windows are undecorated" option disabled, no change.

At first I thought it was related to this thread, but it says that it was fixed in gtk3 3.16.4

Any ideas?

EDIT (SOLUTION): Ok so this was a compton issue, rather it was an issue that was fixed. I had autostarted compton with the -e option, which enables titlebar and border transparency, then forgot about it. Previously it didn't work and I just didn't even pay attention. Currently the code is being overhauled after having been forked away from the previous owner. This feature now works as expected, so this is a good thing because Compton now has the potential to be all that it can be...

Indeed, no change. There shows a small border around the window proper of differing colors, but not a full border. Now that I think about it, maybe it IS related to the single pixel border problem with gtk3. Luckily I've tracked my config files so looking through them for any changes to GTK options. Will report back.

Re: [SOLVED] No borders in openbox applications

After reviewing my files I only found one change related to GTK,

cat .config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
[Settings]
gtk-theme-name=Arc-Dark
gtk-icon-theme-name=deepin-dark
gtk-font-name=DEC Terminal 12
gtk-cursor-theme-name=Adwaita
gtk-cursor-theme-size=0
gtk-toolbar-style=GTK_TOOLBAR_BOTH
gtk-toolbar-icon-size=GTK_ICON_SIZE_SMALL_TOOLBAR
gtk-button-images=1
gtk-menu-images=1
gtk-enable-event-sounds=1
gtk-enable-input-feedback-sounds=1
gtk-xft-antialias=1
gtk-xft-hinting=1
gtk-xft-hintstyle=hintfull

Where gtk-toolbar-icon-size was previously set to GTK_ICON_LARGE_TOOLBAR

Branching from an old commit and changing this option did nothing. So this is either to do with a package upgrade or something else has gone really really wrong here.
