Hi! I’d like to be able to change the threshhold in which the mouse enables to resize windows when held on the edges. It’s very difficult and it seems like it’s only a pixel or so wide on each four sides.
Open to all options (i.e. - terminal, packages, sub-packages, dev-packages, etc.)
Thanks
Also open to using a new window mapper (i.e. - compiz (but not outdated, or a workaround TO enable it’s use) etc.)
Thanks again, in advance
Use keyboard shortcut Alt+F8 to resize window. Or:
[SOLVED] How to enlarge the frame of the windows for mouse actions? / Desktop / Xfce Forums
There are a few options:
- With the mouse near the border you want to resize, hold down the Alt key, press the right mouse button and move the mouse to resize
- Use a window manager theme with thicker borders
- Force CSD on all windows to get an additional buffer zone for resizing.
There are no configuration options to create a larger buffer zone if using xfwm to manage window decorations (SSD).
I found this post:
Change the window size with the mouse / Desktop / Xfce Forums
It contains all possible solutions.1 - key right mouse button to resize window. Where the mouse is when starting effects how the window will resize.
2 - Settings Manager
2.1 - Settings → Appearance
Do NOT check “Set matching Xfwm4 theme if there is one”.
Then this will automatically select the “Default” theme in the Window Manager.
If a matching Xfwm4 theme is available, the default theme uses it, but overwrites the frames to 5px width.2.2 - Settings → Window Manager
The “default-hdpi” and “default-xhdpi” themes are additionally available here.
The themes further enlarge the frame.
