Even if already solved, I want to give some extra tipps, how it can be decent looking and usable again. Taken from the wiki you can add this lightly reduced and modified lines to the ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css file:
.window-frame, .window-frame:backdrop {
box-shadow: 0 0 0 black; /* removes shadow completely */
border-style: none;
margin: 1; /* this retains the ability to resize with the mouse, if 1px is too narrow, set some higher values */
border-radius: 0;
As for myself, I am using Openbox as wm, Numix as theme and the rest are the xfce environemnt. The effects are all disabled, which results in these black borders in the first place. If you use tiling wm and keyboard only, set the margin to 0 for zero frame and maximum.. content.
With other words, no need to change themes, blame the.. hmm, wo exactly allowed this to be happen anyway..? Whatever..
Greetings and good luck
