How can I make window corners square?

I'm using Zorin OS Lite with the XCFE desktop. I installed the Redstone theme (https://www.opendesktop.org/p/1013482/) which is supposed to have square corners, but almost all of the corners on my desktop are still rounded. The exception is the Settings menu for some reason. How do I fix this?

That theme is supported on gtk 3.18 while Zorin OS 16 is using gtk 3.24

I would recommend testing a Different Known Theme that has Squared Corners before trying anything else.

In Lite (XFCE), the windows borders and corners are handled by the XFWM4 Window Manager.

For anyone having the same issue:

  • Go to Settings > Settings Editor
  • Select the xfwm4 Channel (it's probably near the bottom)
  • Find the "rounded_corners_radius" property, and set it to 0

This worked for me

Brilliant. I just followed your steps and easily found that. Embarrassingly, I did not know that setting was there.

Thats the trouble with XFCE, lots of settings. You don't have that problem on Gnome :rofl:

i would rather have the problem of not knowing the setting was there - than not having all those settings there.
