This is now possible in unity (from a technical point of view), but we
need design input on this.

Title:
  Decorations: windows should have 0px (bottom and side) borders

Status in Ayatana Design:
  New
Status in Unity:
  Incomplete
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Back in 11.04 it was decided to go borderless but was reverted mainly because of unity-2d. Since then users that wish this could easily adjust in metacity-1.
  Now that's gone with the unity-window decorator.
  Dark windows look bad with the light grey? 1 px. border, particuarly some video players, gnome-terminal ect. 
  (I understand that without a border 2 overlaping terminals may be weird but overall borderless looks better in general use

  Or at the least somehow color it something less obvious & distracting.
