What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. choose a dark colorscheme
2. maximize the window

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

On the right side and bottom there will be a border that is the GTK default 
border color. You may need to change the font size to see it properly, since 
the border is the left-over space after gvim has filled the screen with the 
maximum number of lines/cols that will fit in the window.

The ideal behavior would be that this border would be set to the same color as 
the background of your color scheme, and changed when you change color schemes. 
The border will still be there, but will be less of an eyesore.

In the discussions linked below people have also mentioned it would be nice if 
vim was centered inside the available space rather than positioned at the 
top-left, so the borders would be equal left-right and top-bottom. This sounds 
good as well, but I would consider it secondary to the primary issue of the 
border color.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

gVim on Ubuntu 14.04
