Resize borders are to small #676

Closed Limator closed 7 years ago

Limator commented 7 years ago

hi,

the area/border of each window where it could be resized is to small. At the moment I have to match the exact pixel to catch the resize-function ^^ pressing alt + rightklick + drag&drop is a good alternative, but not everybody knows this!

Could you higher the size of the resizing-area or could you tell me how to higher this size?

Thank you!

Window manager problem. See #100

Hi @khurshid-alam That is not correct! I've taken a look on other themes and other themes have bigger resizing areas. I've done a little google-search and found out that the size of the resizing-area depends on the theme. Someone told me to use a theme with a resizing-area that fits my needs ;) but that's not the right way I think ^^

Resize grip was removed from GTK. See https://mail.gnome.org/archives/commits-list/2014-July/msg00351.html

Now Window manger gives a invisible border which can be used as resize grip. We use 15px.

Client-side decorated windows when running under a compositor have 5 pixels around the border that can be used as a resize area. If there is no compositor running, the border is automatically increased from 1px to, I think, 3px

If windows manger doesn't provide that invisible border we cann't control it. If we introduce our window border, it will cause other issues like black boder around the window.

@Limator What is your window-manager by the way?
