Gnome 3 Round bottom corners of windows

Question

Many folks have been asking to remove the top round corners on windows in gnome 3. I want to extend it to the bottom corners as well. Wondering if it is possible? There is a similar question asked before but it wasn't intended for the default adwaita theme which gnome 3 uses. I found the file /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css which contains some radius stuff but I am not good at it. Wondering if someone knows how to round the bottom corners.

Ok, so which version of GNOME Shell are you running? And which version of Ubuntu (I assume the flavour is Ubuntu GNOME?)? — , Dec 27 '15 at 21:56

Here's how you should proceed:

Look for border-radius property.

Case I: If there is just a single value assigned to it, like border-radius: 18px;, then it means that the borders will be rounded from all the 4 directions (Top, Right, Bottom, Left) equally (18px in this case).

Case II: Shorthand Property: If there are multiple values, like border-radius: 18px 0px 0px 18px;, then remember the order (Top, Right, Bottom, Left). This means that the 3d value (0px in this case), represents the bottom radius. Set it to a non-zero value!

Note: It should not be very hard finding border-radius with shorthand notation. For example, my own gnome-shell.css has only 9 occurences where the border-radius shorthand property (2nd case) is used!

Hope it helps.

so I changed .app-view-control:last-child:rtl to border-radius: 18px 18px 18px 18px but it didn't work. can you point to which value needs to be changed? – user2438113 Dec 28 '15 at 15:46
after changing the value, I did Alt-F2 and r – user2438113 Dec 28 '15 at 15:47
There will be multiple occurrences of the border-radius property, you might have to change it for all of them! – Avijit Gupta Dec 28 '15 at 16:47
it doesn't work – user2438113 Dec 29 '15 at 15:17
Did you try restarting your machine after saving the file. Also, you could verify that the changes are still there after the reboot! – Avijit Gupta Dec 29 '15 at 16:35
yes. I tried Alt-F2 r as well – user2438113 Dec 30 '15 at 05:26
