There are a few things I've learned - or not learned - from releasing software. 1. People like to VENT. Some people are going to post nasty stuff even though they would normally act different in person. 2. Can you turn the nasty

Ugg, I hate that. On Mac OS as well. Windows 8 had something like a 10px border that looked great. Tried to do the same on linux - modify some defaults - and it worked for a while until... it stopped working and I haven't been able to
