This is on Linux Mint 20.1, Mate. With the Mint-X theme, I get a bright red border around windows of certain applications. It doesn't happen with Mint-Y.
It seems specific to Gnome apps, which don't have the normal kind of title bar. It happens for these:
Disks
dconf Editor
Gedit
This post on Reddit shows the exact same thing, but no solution:

Re: Mint-X theme puts a red border around some windows
It's in this file, in the section for csd:
/usr/share/themes/Mint-X/gtk-3.0/gtk-widgets.css
Setting each of those px widths to 0 gets rid of it.
The csd is for client-side decoration, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client-side_decoration, so it makes sense that it is on the Gnome apps.
/usr/share/themes/Mint-X/gtk-3.0/gtk-widgets.css
Code: Select all
.solid-csd decoration {
margin: 0;
padding: 4px;
background-color: @border;
border: 1px solid @border;
border-radius: 0;
box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 3px red;
}
