it seems strange to me that the borders of windows would be made thicker /all the time/ just so they could make better click targets when someone needs to resize. why not just use a keyboard bind? hold down ALT when near an edge or corner to resize. if within range (4 pixels) the cursor changes to a resize cursor. it works with my current window manager just fine. GNOME should do it too and free up those precious pixels - a lesson in K.I.S.S. cheers, -- julian oliver http://julianoliver.com http://selectparks.net messages containing HTML will not be read. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
