But those borders are not my problem. My problem are the borders that are inside the GTK programs like tunderbird, that divide the program in for example 3 panels. There are very thin lines. In a good working Thunderbird, when you place the mouse pointer close to the line, arrows appear to help placing the mouse over the separation line. Once you have placed precisely the mouse you can adjust line position and resize panels inside the program. Without the helping arrows is very tricky to place the mouse accurately over the line.
Try creating a file ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css with:

   separator {
       min-width: 6px;
       min-height: 6px;
   }

But some applications seem to use custom widgets and ignore this. For Thunderbird you need to create a file ~/.thunderbird/{your-profile}/ chrome/userChrome.css with:

   hr[is="pane-splitter"][resize-direction="horizontal"] {
       width: 6px !important;
       cursor: crosshair !important;
   }
   hr[is="pane-splitter"][resize-direction="vertical"] {
       height: 6px !important;
       cursor: crosshair !important;
   }


Hello PHO,

Thanks so much for the tips and suggestions. I have tried both and I have not seen any change in thunderbird behaviour. I think I have done it well following your advice.

Thanks.
