Description

It happens all the time, even while I know what to search for:
borderless keybase popup window with white background blends in with white windows (which are quite common). Example given at the moment I reported other keybase bug while being on github.

Here there are three problems:

  1. borderless white 'title bar'
  2. very greyish icons (hard to spot)
  3. separated 'what is this for' icon, also grey (hard to spot) and on white background.

Solution:
Use border, or change background. Also thinking about icons (ad3) design would help. Nut (settings)
icon would be better.

Research direction

The issue names no source file, test, or entry point. Start by locating the borderless Keybase popup window and checking its title bar, icons, and help control against the reported white-background visibility problem. Done means the popup and its controls are clearly distinguishable from white windows and the updated appearance is verified visually.
