Fresh updated display areas get transitional blurrier. Behavior applies to the Unity Desktop and all desktop apps like Chrome, the Terminal, Steam Client but not on OpenGL games or Flash content and affects window borders, texts, images and all UI elements except the mouse cursor. -> see attachment Nvidia proprietary drivers are in use.
