Hello, I am having a little difficulty understanding your problem, but what I get to know from your email is that you are having problems setting up a new monitor and some other little resizing problems. You should check your graphic card and you might have to get a good graphic card to a higher resolution like the one you are using. Try ATI 4850 and also check that someone has not messed up the display settings that are on your monitor buttons, that might help you getting the borders you want. Sorry I wasn't able to help much, Vikram

It's also an accessibility issue - those with motor control problems may find it very hard to position the mouse to drag a window even on smaller displays such as 1280x1024 17" monitors. Having switched from KDE, where this is a simple configuration option and the first thing I set up, I'm really surprised that GNOME doesn't allow this. Windows has of course allowed this for a very long time, certainly Windows 95 if not Windows 3.1. Installing Emerald is reasonable workaround I suppose but that's hardly new user friendly - it would be much better if this was configurable. Having to search for a theme with wider borders is a pain, you might well end up with a theme you don't like for aesthetic reasons. As someone said, it's the small things that put you off when you are trying out Ubuntu for the first time. (I've used Ubuntu for a few years and Linux for ages but am setting up Ubuntu for an elderly relative who has some trouble with precise mouse movements.) -- Window Resize Difficult (Window Border Thickness) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/160311 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Artwork Team, which is subscribed to human-gtk-theme in ubuntu. -- Window Resize Difficult (Window Border Thickness) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/160311 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
