Description Allan Day 2013-03-02 20:50:29 UTC 
We have a non-standard, small text size in a number of places in the shell. I'm increasingly coming to the conclusion that we should be replacing these with the standard font size. It looks more elegant if we are consistent. A larger font is also easier to read.

As a part of this change we could remove the semi-opaque background that we use for the window captions.

theme patch

Here's an initial patch that we can use for testing.

If we do want to do this, a few things other things will need to be fixed first.
Comment 3 Allan Day 2013-08-25 23:23:44 UTC 
I'm guessing that this patch has rotted. I can pursue again if I want to.
