Hello,
I've got this weird problem. Any appearance I try, all windows looks broken, like this:


Ubuntu 12.10, using AMD video card, but OS drivers. Also tried to install gnome3 and unity before, could it happened because of this?

How can I fix that?

did you try the AMD binary drivers? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI

try turning off composting alt+shift+F12

AMD drivers makes greater problems because of duel screen.

alt+shift+F12 is not helping, everything gets black border.

other than everything gets black border is the window layout fixed? if so try changing desktop theme

If you refer to the titlebar - this should be limited to few Aurorae themes (i only know about oxygen-air, old versions, in particular) - it should not happen with eg. the actual oxygen decoration and i've not seen it on most other Aurorae themes (out of the five i ever tried
Also most Aurorae themes won't work w/o compositing at all.

Try eg. "Radial" or "Ghost" - neither do dekorator themes or native decorations like (next to Oxygen) Skulpture, QtCurve or Bespin expose this.

Thank you for help. Fixed that by enabling AMD drivers and dual screen is working great.
