Not a fan of the new trend of zero window borders. I wish there was at least a way to make them customizable.

By “new trend” are you talking about how the borders got eliminated in Mac OS X in 2001? That trend is old enough to buy beer.

Although for a while (starting with 10.3?), some windows had a chunky brushed-metal look.

IIRC it was around 2010 that Apple started getting rid of scroll bars by default
That would be 10.7 Lion, in 2011. But I believe OP was talking about the older window borders, which afforded the ability to drag the window from any part of the perimeter.
You can turn on Increase Contrast from the OSX System Preferences Accessibility section. I do that for this exact reason.
Trying it now, thanks!
