understanding right margin for the close button and the edge below

[sidmint]

In MS Windows, when a window is maximised, I used to throw my cursor at the top right corner blindly at the close button to close the window quickly. But in many Linux themes, including this, the cursor changes into resizing arrow at the edge due to the 'right margin' and doesn't get clicked on the close button. So I have to retract it back and then click.

My question is, is it possible to have the 'right margin' only for the edge below the close button and not for the close button? How MS Windows manages this thing, that is, does it have resizing feature for the right edge excluding the close button?

Currently I delete the 'right margin' files from the xfwm4 theme to achieve this, in exchange also losing the resizing capability on the right edge.

Thank you very much for your help.

Windows manages windows differently than Xfce. Windows has "resize areas" where you can trigger the resize cursor. As far as I know, Xfce will only show you that cursor over the window border.

This theme has a 1px border on the left, bottom and right edges, hence why you're having the resize option.

However, it's weird that it also happens when in a maximized state. I'll have a look if this can be fixed

my apologies for wrong and misleading info. I mentioned maximised state wrongly, I think that happens [no resizing cursor at right edge of close button] for a window tiled/snapped to right half of the screen in Windows [please confirm this I don't remember confidently], but in Linux the resizing arrow comes in the 'tiled/snapped to right half of the screen' state. That's the difference [if it's true for Windows].

But even if it's true, as you explained, Windows can keep resizing option excluding the close button, which Linux may not support at the moment.
