There's been several questions about the changes made, and some have been corrected. It was originally done because there was difficult to differentiate between the dark backgrounds and the thumbnails I think. the opinions of the previous and current situation was split, so they added the possibility to do something about it in the skins. Having those options in skins makes it possible for everyone to create their own skin to suite their taste.

You have several code exaples in that post, as well as drop shadow example from marko. You'll just have to edit the image and add the code to the main.xml file under your skin folder I think. It's not as fast as giving the users a couple of options, but it's a lot more flexible.

It is as simple as adding the attached images to the folder of the skin you are using and the below text to the main.xml file in that skin's folder.
My images are completely transparent (no border or glow regardless of background color)

<BORDER>
  <Entry Name="GlowShadow" Bitmap="Border_GlowShadow.png" Rows="5,?-Flex,9" Columns="7,?-Flex,7" Cells="B2-Skip">
    <Data InternalMarginLeft="5" InternalMarginTop="3" InternalMarginRight="5" InternalMarginBottom="7"></Data>
  </Entry>
  <Entry Name="DropShadow" Bitmap="Border_DropShadow.png" Rows="3,?-Flex,7" Columns="5,?-Flex,5" Cells="B2-Skip">
    <Data InternalMarginLeft="5" InternalMarginTop="3" InternalMarginRight="5" InternalMarginBottom="7"></Data>
  </Entry>
  <Entry Name="Frame" Bitmap="Border_Frame.png" Rows="7,?-Flex,11" Columns="9,?-Flex,9" Cells="B2-Skip">
    <Data InternalMarginLeft="9" InternalMarginTop="7" InternalMarginRight="9" InternalMarginBottom="11"></Data>
  </Entry>
</BORDER>
