Using with tiling WMs:

To resolve borders/shadow problem in tiling window managers create/append to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css:

.window-frame, .window-frame:backdrop {
  box-shadow: 0 0 0 black;
  border-style: none;
  margin: 0;
  border-radius: 0;
}
.titlebar {
  border-radius: 0;
}
window decoration {
	margin: 0;
}
