Re: borderless MacOS menus (was 'Gtk3 MacOS (OSX) context menu issues')

[Roger Davis <rbd soest hawaii edu>]

Thanks for the suggestion, Jim, but no luck so far in getting any change 
to my menu borders via

.window-frame, .window-frame:backdrop {
  box-shadow: 6px 6px;
  margin: 6px;
}

which I added to a new $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gtk-3.0/gtk.css file. This file is 
definitely being parsed at app startup time, because if I change

.window-frame, .window-frame:backdrop {

to instead read

* {

I get the most hideous GUI imaginable, i.e., big ugly shadow borders 
around almost everything *except* my menus, which are still completely 
borderless! It just seems like my system is flat-out never drawing any 
menu borders no matter what.
